DONATE TO ALY
Where/when was your first marathon? Outer Banks, NC – 2011

How many marathons have you run? 2

Most memorable race/run? Both of my marathons – it’s hard to forget 26.2 miles – especially when you have the entire city supporting you and cheering you on!

Favorite Running Shoe? Saucony Zealot

Hot or Cold weather running? Neither – Slightly cooler with no wind 🙂

Flat course or hills? FLAT

What’s the farthest you’ve ever run at one time? 26.2 miles!

Why do you run? I love that you don’t need anything to run – you can just go out and do it. It is my favorite form of exercise and a wonderful way to clear your head after a long day.

Why are you running for Opportunity Knocks? I’ve been involved with OK for several years and recently joined the Aux Board. I think what they do for the Warriors and the overall OP/RF/FP community is incredible. The people who are involved are so committed, it’s inspiring. After this year’s marathon, I was talking to Mike about OK having a team. When he let me know they would, I couldn’t say no! I couldn’t be more excited to run the 40th Chicago Marathon for OK!
