I caught the running bug about 2 years ago. Although I told my wife I didn't like running and I was sticking to 5K races, I am hooked, and now have decided to take on the challenge of running my first marathon. (Yes, I say first--we'll see how long my family supports this addiction!)

My marathon training began in July and so far I've logged 350+ miles (130 in the last month!). I still have 6 weeks of training ahead.

You know we've been avid supporters of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for many years. This year, I joined Team Lemon. It helps to remind me of the important things in life--I felt that running this marathon should be about something more than just me running. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to support this foundation and all the great work they do every day. Joining Team Lemon allows me to make running my first marathon about more than just reaching a personal goal.

Will you help me support Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation and fight childhood cancer?
