Just in case our travel prep gets in the way of a Wednesday night Live Chat, we wanted to makes sure you had something in your podcast feed from us to get you excited about the coming weekend, whether you are joining us in Jacksonville, running virtually, or you are our cheer squad for the weekend form wherever you are. We will see you soon from Jacksonville!
The 2019 Donna Marathon Weekend started with a Social Shakeout Run on Friday. It was a 5k to get us going for the fun weekend of running ahead, but it also gave us the chance to sit down with three incredible people who started this race weekend. It was such an honor to talk with these three and learn how this weekend got its roots. Thank you so much to Amanda Napolitano, Executive Director of the Donna Foundation, who arranged this time for us to chat!
Donna Deegan is the Chief Eternal Optimist of the Donna Marathon Weekend and the Donna Foundation. Dr. Edith Perez is a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic. Finally, a fantastic friend of our podcast and America’s Coach, Jeff Galloway, is the one who suggested that Donna start it all when they spotted each other at an Expo for the Gate River Run. They talk about the history of the race, the advancements in research and the families it has supported, and the reasons this weekend is a must-do and such a special race weekend.
It is one that we plan to do every year to honor those we have lost to breast cancer, but also to experience one of the best running block parties we have ever been to in our running career!
To find out about the race weekend, go to www.breastcancermarathon.com, and to support the foundation go to www.thedonnafoundation.org.
THAT’S A WRAP
