For several years, I supported and cheered my sister on as she completed the 24 in 24 Challenge. Last year, I was finally able to join her as a challenger. We ran alongside each other with our dad. All 24 miles. It was an amazing experience, and one I will never forget. But why do it? Why not just run a marathon instead? The 24 in 24 is built different. 1 mile, every hour on the hour, for 24 hours. It's made to be tough. It's made to challenge you. But most importantly, it's made for the wish kids. We run for the wish kids. We raise money for the wish kids. It's all about the wish kids. Completing that final mile last year and receiving my medal and a big hug from one of the wish kids is truly an incredible experience. It is truly an emotional experience. These wish kids go through so much pain and hard times. To be able to give back to them and see the smiles on their faces as we run through the stadium for them. It's truly amazing. These wish kids are my why. And they are why I will make the trip back to Ohio from Virginia every October for as long as I am able to. This is for them ❤️
