My Story…
My wife and I have been taking turns running this race to raise money for the wonderful SBAGNE organization going on 4 years! 6 years ago, we had our first son Nolan who was born with Spina Bifida. We knew very little of what Spina Bifida was at the time but have learned a great deal over the past 6 years. Through the numerous surgeries, the doctors visits and the customized daily routines he has addressed everything with a positive attitude and resilience that is awe inspiring for someone his age. Nolan's personality radiates through our family and keeps us all smiling and grounded. Through the SBAGNE organization, we have been connected with other wonderful families and individuals that have similar stories and have helped guide us through the different stages of Nolan's life and needs. Please help us in supporting this great organization for not only Nolan but all those who have been born a little different. I can hear Nolan cheering his favorite cheer when I run, which is "RUN FASTER DADDY!!!"
