I recently ran my first marathon, Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, MN. The feeling I had before, during, and after the race is indescribable. Throughout the 26.2 mile journey I could not stop smiling from all the love, support, and encouragement from other runners and spectators. I dedicated my first marathon to my high school cross country coach who taught me everything I know about running and how "you gotta have heart". - Dan Conway

For my second marathon I will be running the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon. I will be dedicating this marathon to Children's Minnesota Maternal and Fetal Care Unit where all donations will go towards helping families in need.
