I'm absolutely ecstatic to be running the 127th Boston Marathon. For the second time I'll be raising funds with the Boston Bulldogs Running Club. This is a phenomenal charity that helps those impacted directly or indirectly by substance abuse. I've personally been a member of this club for over two years and what this club has done for me is unmerited. Running, especially long distance running has helped me tremendously with so many aspects of life from inner strength and discipline to personal relationships. Long distance running has given me the same approach on life. Not everything is going to happen overnight, but with discipline, hard work and a one step at a time mentality the only thing holding us back is our own impatience and our own self doubt. So please help me raise funds to support a wonderful club that has and continues to do so much for so many.
