Mudder for Amirah

Please support me as I take on another Tough Mudder to support Amirah, raising funds to help survivors of sex trafficking. The Tough Mudder is such a great analogy for recovery - taking on seemingly insurmountable obstacles, many of which you need other people to work with to achieve, getting knocked down at times, but getting back up, not backing down, and working through it together to get through it. 

Trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world. Amirah exists to help women exit sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. I am so honored to be a part of this team, and the team is honored to be able to help this worthy cause. Amirah's Rapid Re-housing program, combined with its Community Resource Center has been the most successful program to date, and this will help support that success and continued growth. 

The primary reason for woman not being able to exit sex trafficking is a severe lack of “exit ramps” – opportunities for the exploited to get away from their traffickers. Amirah is that exit ramp! When you support Amirah, you support a woman’s recovery process to regain her life. 

Bring on the mud!
