The Starting Line

HERE WE GO...

Today marks 172 days until the 2014 Boston Marathon, and I am SO excited to get started on this journey with you!  Over the next few months there will be lots of miles logged, (low-protein) pasta consumed, and memories made.

I plan on using this site to share with you my experiences leading up to what will be one of the most historic Boston Marathons on record.

This is my first attempt at setting up a blog/website, and it is definitely a work in progress - so please bear with me.  I promise my posts will be more entertaining & informative as times goes on :)

If you're viewing the web version of my blog (not mobile), I've listed a few helpful links on the right side to help you get familiar with my site:

1. My Firstgiving Page- This is a link to my fundraising site.  I've set a rather large fundraising goal this year: $26,200 (or roughly $1000 for each mile of the marathon).  All the funds raised will go towards establishing a research grant for Homocystinuria.  It's my hope that together - we can make a difference for the next generation of HCUers.

2. My Past Blogs - These are links to the blogs I've written for the Running for Rare Diseases Team.

3. My Upcoming Races - I have more than just the Boston Marathon on my horizon.  This is a list of all races I'm currently registered for.  It's my dream to one day complete a full marathon in all 50 states and DC.  More on this topic soon!

4. Rare Disease Links - Check out HCU Creds - a new website with lots of resources for the HCU community!

5. Running Links - Check out the Running for Rare Diseases Team website!

Thanks for visiting my site - come back soon for more updates :)
