Let's get the gals together on Galentine's Day, 2/13, to run for Free to Move [https://www.wearefreetomove.org/] - for Alyssa Lokits. If you cannot make it in person, you can run your miles virtually.

THE IN-PERSON VERSION OF THIS RACE WILL BE IN CARMEL, IN on the Monon Trail.

After interviewing Abby Lokits for the Finish Lines & Milestones podcast [https://athletebouquets.com/pages/the-podcast] (EP 142 [https://athletebouquets.com/blogs/news/finish-lines-milestones-episode-142-abby-lokits-free-to-move-for-alys]), I wanted to do something to help raise awareness (and some donations) for Free to Move [https://www.wearefreetomove.org/].

ABOUT FREE TO MOVE

Free to Move was founded in honor of Dr. Alyssa Lokits, a beloved advocate whose unwavering love for others, intellectual curiosity, and commitment to progress left a lasting impact. Alyssa was a strong, independent, and compassionate person who deeply cared about empowering others, especially women. Her commitment to safety, support, and community continues to inspire us every day.

Alyssa was an active woman who loved running and holistic health, and she always believed in the importance of physical activity for both mind and body. Tragically, her life was taken in a senseless act of violence while she was simply out for a run, a place where she felt safe and free.

Alyssas legacy lives on through our mission to foster a safer, stronger world for women, focusing on their safety, empowerment, and education. We are committed to carrying her vision forward by creating a community where women can be free to exercise, move, and live without fear.
