I enjoyed hearing about your journey into long-distance running and how you were able to utilize it to aid your mother!! The beginning of your journey resonates with me because I had similar experiences when I began running again in 2015 after smoking for seven years. I'm currently training for my fifth marathon with intentions to move into the ultrarunning scene later this year! I've also considered doing a fundraiser for my father this year, as he has a myriad of health issues and no way to finance his surgeries on top of the medical debt that he already has. Are you currently training for any race in particular?
