Every day, these smart, passionate people work hard to help Let Me Run reach and inspire as many boys as possible.
After having children, running became a big part of my life for health reasons and to manage stress. Our family has always enjoyed being active outdoors and running was introduced to our boys at young ages. I've seen first-hand the before and after of how running and an active lifestyle positively impacts mood and behavior in my own children. I feel grateful to be part of such a great program that aids in developing social, emotional and physical health for our youth.
I was excited when our son said he wanted to participate in Let Me Run the first year. As a runner and former college coach, it was fun to see he was interested in the sport. My wife and I were blown away by the growth we saw in him because of Let Me Run that first season. He gained so much self-confidence, a willingness to challenge himself more, the power of teamwork, and so much more. He's continued to participate in LMR every season he can, and after getting to help coach one of those seasons, I'm really excited to help grow Let Me Run in the region to positively impact more kids and continue to use running to inspire people.
