THE STORY:
This is my second time fundraising for GDMF and I am so honored to have the opportunity to be part of this amazing organization again. Last year my goal was $5000 and I raised over $7000. It was also my first fundraising experience and so, needless to say, I was completely blown away by the overwhelming love and support I received from so many. It filled me up so tremendously and made my NY Marathon experience (also a first), even more meaningful, empowering and incredible. So now I'm back for Round 2 of the NY Marathon and GDMF fundraising. I hope to be even more successful this year on both fronts, but again, am just excited to be along for the ride. I met Glen Doherty a few times, through my dear friend Robyn Shaw, also a GDMF teammate, and my training partner. He was a very special person with an infectious smile and zest for life. I feel so fortunate to be able to raise funds and run in his memory.
