Sofia’s Story
Sofia, 19, NC, helped organize the Unite to Light Global 5K Challenge and raised $830 to bring critical power back to the people of Louisiana after Hurricane Ida.
Background & Impact
Hurricane Ida hit and I was sent home to North Carolina from my college in Louisiana for three weeks. During this time, I reflected on what I could do to help, and I realized that this was the best time to organize a 5K. I now know how to get people involved throughout the nation, and possibly the world, because of what I learned and my outreach experiences with my Positive Tracks Challenge.
