In April, our running buddy Karen Swann, whom many in the running community may know, will be representing the Military Friends Foundation while she runs the Boston Marathon- a lifelong dream of hers! The marathon distance (26.2 miles) can be quite the challenge, but Karen is one of the most dedicated runners we know and has completed this distance several times before. She just celebrated her 70th birthday, and if you know her, you know she is quite the inspirationwe hope to someday still be running at 70 like her!

So, what are you waiting for? Come join us to celebrate her journey and run for this amazing foundation!
