Our personal message:

So here I start: Where do I begin one day at work I decided that it may be nice to run a marathon! At this point I had been biking in to work and running 3-5 mile runs here and there to get over some personal conflicts. With time everything that is supposed to happen usually does and things always work out for the best.  I remember being psyched because I made it home from Spaulding rehab once with 7 miles under my belt. Now I am up to 18.5. The Philly marathon is not for four more months, but I guess you could say I never do anything in moderation, except maybe sleep these days. I am the pediatric dietitian at Spaulding Rehab Hospital, reside in Dorchester, MA and am thrilled and SCARED to run this marathon. I love Spaulding Rehab and wanted to do something which could really make a difference. Please help Spaulding and show your support by donating in hopes that I will finish.
