My Commitment

If you know me, you know I pour my heart into two things: Letter Eats by B — the business I built from the ground up — and prioritizing my health, both mentally and physically.

I’ve been called inspiring or “goals,” but truthfully — I’m just committed. I show up. For my business. For my health. For my people.

And this 5K? It’s my way of creating space for YOU to do the same.

If you’ve ever been to my shop, you might’ve seen my “b-inspired” wall — filled with encouraging words from customers, friends, and family. It’s something I lean on when I need a boost, and a reminder that the right people and words can keep you going.

There’s no pressure — just a community coming together to move forward.

Strength isn’t always about speed — it’s about showing up. Never compare your journey to anyone else’s.

Why We Run

The B-Inspired Scholarship will be awarded to a Boone High School senior who demonstrates drive, creativity, and passion for their future — whether that’s entrepreneurship or a career in fitness, sports, or wellness.

This scholarship represents both sides of my journey:

• Entrepreneurship: building Letter Eats by B from the ground up.
• Fitness & Self-Care: creating this race to inspire others to show up for themselves.

If this inspires you, register today and help us make an even bigger impact. See you at the finish line!
