Ep.010: Jenni Lord - Run for Another

Jenni Lord fell in love with running when she had her first “runner’s high” in her late teens. When she was at the start line of her first half marathon, she realized that she needed to run for something more than herself. This was the genesis of Chosen, which is an organization that provides adoptive families financial, educational, and mentoring services. Additionally, they are involved in orphan and foster care around the world. We talk with Jenni about her running past, what motivated her to start Chosen, and also talk about some amazing stories that have resulted from their efforts. Jenni describes that the connection between adoption and running is quite natural, as they both take a lot of time, training, sacrifice, perseverance, and endurance. One way Chosen advocates for vulnerable children in need for homes is by organizing what has been called the “Prettiest Race in Texas”, which in it’s 7th year will be a 5K and half marathon. This year’s race is on November 19, 2016 in New Braunfels, TX. Use the discount code AB16MS for $5 off.
