“The more you run on these journeys, 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 and my mom and her inability to walk she gets to live vicariously through me. She always talks about when things do get better and 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.”
