Reason for running: Running a marathon is a pre-40 bucket list item, and there’s no better race than Boston. I’m also running on behalf of the Animal Rescue League of Boston.

Charity: Animal Rescue League of Boston

Training tip: Find a good training partner - ideally one who has run a marathon before. It’s a challenging training program that’s easy to divert from (especially this winter) - definitely a huge help to have someone else to help motivate.

Bib number: 30015
