Executive Director Jim Murphy Runs and Pursues Hobbies
“I’ve averaged over 1000 miles each month throughout the pandemic,” says Jim. “I also do things to support others – my miles are dedicated to an autistic child that I was matched with almost 5 years ago through the #Irun4Michael group.”
Jim also mentions that pursuing hobbies and carving out alone time for exploring interests are other ways that we can all practice self-care!
Events and Outreach Coordinator Rebecca Merrill Loves To Read and Cook
Rebecca says, “Go for a walk, do some yoga, go for a run, have a solo dance party in your living room- bonus! Call a friend on your walk. Also, coloring books are a great way to relax. I step away from my screen, read a book, do something crafty, or pick a new recipe and make it with your family (or call your friend and make it together virtually).”
Events Manager Mackenzie Kelley Enjoys Going for Bike Rides

Sticking to Healthy Routines Makes a Difference for CEO Dara Rudick
“My best days are when I stick to my morning routine,” says Dara. “I wake up at 5am, run with my dog, write in my journal and meditate, and eat my hearty bowl of oatmeal at a table (not in front of the screen).”
Dara adds, “I don’t hit all of those every day, but when I do, it makes an enormous positive difference!”
It’s certainly a good time to listen to our bodies and our minds. We value our associations and team members. Self-care helps us thrive.
