Here's my story ...
My Why:
On October 15, 2023, my brother-in-law, Michael Brown (41), tragically passed away due to an allergic reaction to a bee sting. His loss leaves an indescribable void for us all. However, I find comfort in the belief that participating in events like this will help keep his memory alive.
I'm not typically one to participate in races, and Michael knew that well. Yet, when I casually mentioned running this race a year ago, he promised to be there to cheer me on. That promise now fuels my determination and excitement as I prepare to cross the finish line in August.
The remarkable efforts of this organization in supporting those with asthma and allergies deeply inspire me. It's a privilege to contribute to their cause and to honor Michael's memory in doing so.
Thank you!
