Hi, my name is Elle!

My first marathon was 4 years ago and I debated HEAVILY running another one. This one is different though - this is for a cause that is near and dear to my family. I've seen what a stroke can do to a person's life and I am beyond grateful for the ability to move my body each day, not just on long runs, but getting out of bed each morning on my own. Running is important to me, but running with a cause is even more motivation.

I want to say thank you in advance for your donations and for your support of the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association.
