Yesterday’s Run With Maud 5K was such a special day, and my heart is so full. 💙💛
As Ahmaud’s mother, it means more than I can put into words to see so many people who still remember my son, continue to say his name, and show up year after year to make sure his legacy lives on.
This year, we set a goal to raise $50,000 for scholarships for young people in South Georgia and Metro Atlanta, and we exceeded it! Knowing that Ahmaud’s name is helping the next generation pursue their dreams means everything to me.
A special thank you to the City of Atlanta Government, Andre Dickens and his team, and all of our incredible sponsors and partners: adidas, Atlanta Track Club, Tides Foundation , Black Lives Matter, Ancore Foundation, PGA TOUR Superstore, Beyond Our Generation, Lookout Foundation, Dare to Hope, The WildRoot Collective, Big Peach Running Co. of South Fulton, Urban League of Greater Atlanta Young Professionals, Church of Atlanta Lighthouse, Richmont Graduate University, and the City of Union City.
Thank you to Black Men Run Atlanta and South Fulton Running Partners for always showing up and helping us spread the word. Thank you to our Ahmaud Arbery Foundation board for your continued commitment.
And a very special thank you to Tes and the entire RunningNerds team. This event would not be possible without your love, time, and commitment year after year.
My hope is that Ahmaud’s story will never only be remembered for the tragedy that happened to him. I want his name to live on through hope, change, opportunity, and the lives of the next generation.
Thank you for continuing to remember my son and Run With Maud. It means more to this mother than you will ever know.
Together, we are MAKING HOPE LOUD! 💙💛
