SHERYCE KRUITHOF

This is my first-ever competition!  I was an avid softball player in my younger years but after having a family, I ignored my health and struggled with obesity, diabetes and depression.  I now exercise and eat healthy which has helped lower my weight and depression and kept my diabetes at a good range!  I am challenging myself by participating in the big race!  It's 24 miles in 24 hours!  I am training and believe I will be successful.  (Even if I don't complete all 24 miles, I'll still have completed a challenge while exercising, which is a win!). 

The 24IN24 Challenge is a collaboration event between GLTHHS and Public Safety in an effort to raise awareness for mental health and the positive effects that physicial activity has on mental health.  We will be collecting donations for K9 Camo Companions, whose mission is "to unite and support veterans and pets for the enhancement of both of their lives".
