If you’ve shared a good run with someone, you’ve created a bond with
that person for life. We runners have a bond because we share something
in common. We have a connection beyond the surface. We’ve seen each
other at our best and our worst. We’ve seen each other physically and
emotionally drained from pushing ourselves farther than we thought we
could be pushed. We push each other, and when we fall, we pick each
other up. We’re part of a unique community, a family of runners with
all our strengths and beautiful flaws.
I met Annie about
5 years ago. She was a dear friend of my sister Patty. She was a
beautiful woman…talented, energetic, bright, vibrant and she was a
runner. I wasn’t much of a runner at the time, but wanted to be. She
helped me train for and race my first triathlon. She was amazing,
strong, elegant, and dying of cancer.

WHY WE ARE RUNNING FOR TWO
"Running For Two"
is about entering a sacred time. A time to keep vigil...a metaphorical
candle burning for someone in need. We all have an "Annie" in our
lives, someone we love who is suffering. Through Annie's Locker we now
strive to go out and light our own fires for people in need.
