I really love it when I can combine my passion for singing/performing on stage with community service work. You can imagine how honored I was when I was selected to perform on stage at the Susan G. Komen 5K Race for the Cure at Mall of America on Mother's Day, 2013.
The race organizers realized I was scheduled to walk with my team at the 1K indoor race, which had a later start time than the outdoor 5K race. Thus, they made sure that I was one of the first performers so that I could finish in time to join my teammates. Some of my team members came early so they could support me as I performed on stage.
The outdoor race at Mall of America typically attracts 30,000-50,000 participants. It was truly exciting to be able to perform for so many people as they sped along their race route!
