It really hit me tonight why I’m here and why I’m fighting. It hit me tonight during our meeting when one of my teammate’s told her story. I just sat there and cried. This disease isn’t fair. It can hit anyone, regardless of age, gender, or race. It sucks and I hate it. I hate […]

A year ago, I could barely run a mile. Yesterday, I ran 13.1 miles. Even today, with all my aches and pain, I still can’t believe it. It was such a humbling experience. Thank you to all of the thousands of runners that kept me going. Thank you to the volunteers and supporters that showed […]
