My Story…
On June 26, 2021 I will be walking in the Miles for Maddog Inaugural 5K/10K Run and Walk. The person behind the inspiration of Miles for Maddog was and always will be close to my heart. Maddie Grobmeier (Maddog) was Jen's gym sister at Gym Kinetics. They had such a special bond that when the year of being gym sisters was over they made sure they would always be connected and claimed the title of Un-Sisters. My Un-daughter became part of the family. Hence the name of our team, The Unfamily! Our hearts were broken when Maddog suffered a severe asthma attack and on June 30, 2019 , one day after her 18th birthday she left this world. But, because of the selfless person she was she had a conversation with her parents a few months before the tragic accident. She told her parents that if anything happened to her that she wanted to donate her organs. She wanted some good to come out of tragedy. Maddie lives on! She donated organs and tissues to help save lives and improve the lives of so many people. Maddog was the inspiration of the Maddog Strong Foundation that wants to bring awareness to organ donation and awareness for young people to have the conversation with their loved ones so that they know what their intentions are.
Please donate to our team if you are able. We would also love to have you join us on that day and walk with Jim and I or run with Jen.
