Run Free Michigan

Run Free Michigan

September 6 - 29, 2020

THE PLAN

“The Plan,” Ha! After a van breakdown, and three rides from friends, on September 6th, my crew and headed out to cross the mitten in the north - Michigan! Covering ~15 miles a day, and overcoming a stomach bug, we logged just under 100 miles in 8 days. At 20 weeks pregnant, we picked trail on Sept 25 and hit the Detroit River on September 29, staying at local farms and towns, dodging one 2020 curve ball after the next along the way.

THE CAUSE(S)

The 18th state was in support of the Michigan Chapter of the Farmer Veteran Coalition. The Farmer Veteran Coalition of Michigan is dedicated to support the growth and success of Michigan’s military veterans through agriculture. FVC­-MI develops and administers programs specifically designed to meet the needs of farmer veterans in the state of Michigan, and collaborates with veteran and agricultural organizations within the state to ensure Michigan farmer veterans are given the best opportunity to become successful and sustainable within the agricultural community.
