Since that 5k, Birdie has ran a few more, all her races going towards what is close to her heart, the military.
Birdie runs a Facebook Page called Adopt a Pillowcase for a Soldier.
Through her page you can donate to have a pillowcase made for a soldier and it will be sent out in a care package.
Birdie has shared the emails she gets from these soldiers, the gratitude they have is heartwarming and it's understandable why she spends so much time putting her heart and soul into creating them with others that want to help out.
I took Birdie out for a hike before she started running and I asked her if she wanted to jog with me for a bit, she made it clear she doesn't run.
Well, she signed up for Run A 5k in 2012, signed up for a 5k and she hasn't stopped since.
Yeah, she doesn't run.
Birdie is an inspiration outside of our running world as much as she is in it.
Thanks for keeping up (and passing us!)
