5K and Fun Run to benefit the family of Shane Wyatt.
What’s in the name?
The name Believe Run has a personal story to it that I’m not sure Terra even knows. Over a year and half ago Terra Wyatt is the one that inspired me and BELIEVED in me to begin my running journey. I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for Terra Wyatt. My running journey has changed my life in so many ways. Now, WE BELIEVE IN TERRA. You must BELIEVE in yourself to overcome obstacles. You must BELIEVE in others to help you along the way. You must BELIEVE in your faith to keep you strong.
“Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.” -Christian D. Larson
