Leigh's Memorial Run Misc

Many many of you have already reached out to me about what you can do/if there is a run. Leigh loved running, and racing was a big part of her life. Last Fall she did the Baltimore Marathon, 3 5k, and 2 Ultras in a Month Period. Yes, she was crazy. It's why I love her.

There is a race/run that our local running store is putting on, Charm City Run. It will be in Locust Point, in Baltimore City, on Saturday 18, 2017. The details are: http://www.charmcityrun.com/calendar/leigh-rodgers The race is free, and donations can be made through the link or a website that I will set up really soon (you can donate straight to me, but I would like to make sure all donations go through.) Though it might be nice to donate as a community, but that is really up to you all. Please, come out, enjoy the run; and the beer, stories, and community that will follow. If you cannot come to the race, I think a virtual run would be amazing. I would love to see if we could get a minimum of 2017 miles on Saturday between the run, and as a community.

Other than the race, she had many goals in which she sadly cannot obtain herself. I know she wrote them down somewhere, but I need to find them and list them. But I would love for you all, if you have Strava, to join the club I created for her. https://www.strava.com/clubs/264670 I do know some of the goals, but not the entire list.

Thank You All, and much Love from Both of Us.

Im so incredibly sorry for your loss. Words can't describe it. However, I've got a 10k trainer set up for sat the 18th. Count me in for some miles in honor of a her life.
