About me

Location	United States
Introduction	On April 11, 2009, I ran the distance between two houses. I gradually increased the distance house by house. Eight years earlier was the only other time I ran. It was a 5k where I hobbled over the finish line and declared that running isn't my thing and I'll stick to bike tours instead. "It's a good kind of pain,” Bill said. This story actually begins in 2008 when my husband was diagnosed with NHL. After a 14 month valiant challenge, Bill took his last sweet breath. I promised my best friend that I would run with him and for him, and so I am. I am training for my first marathon and finding it to be both a physical and an emotional challenge. But it is all worth it. I am running to save lives. So for those who have this challenge in their lives and in memory and honor of those who are watching from above, THIS RUN'S FOR YOU!
