"The more you run on these journey's, you feel fortunate for having the ability to take on some of these events and experience what I get to experience. With everything going on with my family & my mom & her inability to walk, she gets to live vicariously through me. She always talks about when things do get better that she wants to start running. I'm a big motivation for her and she's been a big motivation for me. I'm not really just running for myself. I'm running for her and my family."
