TPE Trot for Tessa

TPE Trot for Tessa

This year we are hosting a 5K Walk/Run around the Tampa Palms Boulevard loop. We are hoping to enjoy this community event as a school family in honor of a former TPE Eagle, Tessa Wiseman, who loved to learn. loved to read, and who loved running.

 

Even through two cancer diagnoses Tessa continued to run. It was therapeutic for her, and she shared her passion for running with many people she encountered. Tessa inspired so many people through her journey and reminded her family, friends, and strangers who became fast friends, that focusing on the future, celebrating life with every breath and every mile, and aspiring to love and help others is the only way to live, no matter what difficulties may arise along the way and what insurmountable obstacles we may face. These are values we hope to inspire and cultivate within all of our TPE students. At the end of the race we will plant a tree on our TPE campus in memory of Tessa to create a living legacy for years to come.
