MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho — As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, a Mountain Home runner is completing a remarkable 899.5-mile journey to honor her immigration story and inspire others in her community.

Cristina Drake was born in Mexico but moved to the United States as a baby. Now, she's running the exact distance from her birthplace, San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora, to Mountain Home as a symbolic tribute to her family.

"It really puts into perspective the amount of sacrifice that my parents and my grandparents put into have us come and be here," Cristina said. "All I've ever known has been the life in the US."
