Running the Boston Marathon has always been a dream of mine as a child growing up. I have the amazing opportunity to run for something that is very personal to me through Team Good Sports.
This foundation resonates deeply with me as I am a physical education teacher/coach who is constantly finding ways to fund more equipment and opportunities for my students at my school. Team Good Sports does exactly that, and helps schools and after school programs across the country. Running the Boston marathon will be a huge running milestone of mine, and I’m very eager to get out there in a few weeks to experience such an amazing opportunity and run such a special race.
