The 437 Project’s run across South Dakota this year (2024) will include a woman from Pierre.
Jessica Rumpca says the goal is to raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention.
Rumpca, who ran in the Boston Marathon in 2016 and again in 2017, became one of the team’s 12 members just by reaching out to the 437 Project organizers.
Rumpca says one of the most challenging parts of participating for her, doesn’t have anything to do with the running.
Rumpca says each of the 12 participants must get at least two jersey sponsors to take part in the run.
