Mel On...Why the Million Mile Run?

Yesterday I ran the Ramstein Half Marathon, as part of the Million Mile Run, to raise money for childhood cancer research and development (check out the recap HERE).  Specifically, my donations will go to Leukemia and Lymphoma research in honor of a special little boy named Kadin.  Although I never got the chance to meet this amazing fella, I fell in love with him through his amazing family.

We have been friends with them for 4 yrs. now.  They are the kind of people who you just fall in love with instantly.  The wife is beautiful, the husband is hilarious, and the little girl is the sweetest person you will ever meet.  They will do anything for anyone without thinking twice about it.  They are Texas fans, but we try not to hold that against them.

So yesterday, and for the rest of September, I am honored to be running on behalf of their son.  If you haven't already donated, and would like to, please go HERE...it's not too late!
