I ran my first marathon 15 years ago...  I've now run over 40 marathons, over 25 ultras and completed 5 full-distance triathlons. And I've run them all for me. Yes, I've run with friends and I've run with family. I've run races that gave proceeds to one non-profit or another. I've brought canned goods to food drives at registration, I've donated running shoes and given toys for tots. I've helped others run their first marathon or run to a PR. Now - and this is where you come in - I'm running for the most amazing people on earth. I'm running for Children's Minnesota. Well, I'm really running for the kids. They are amazing!. And they are perfect. And sometimes they need a little help living out their dreams. Children's Minnesota is an amazing place that let's kids be kids, even when they are sick. Even when they were born too small. Even when they are living with diabetes. I will be running the Twin Cities Marathon on October 9th to raise funds for the kids. #AmazingIs www.childrensmn.org Thank you for your support.
