Our story…

We are running in honour of my Dad, John McCoach. He was the best Dad and Grandpa we could ever ask for. 

ALS robbed us of so many years with him, but the way he fought to stay with us and the way he spent the last years of his life, was truly inspiring. We are running to keep his memory alive and to raise money to help find a cure for this horrible disease.
