Aunty Mary

Thanks for coming to the page! My Aunty Mary was my mother's eldest sister and an influential bad ass in my life from birth until her passing in 2022. She was always active with running and walking, volunteering in her community to help others, and made the most amazing chocolate chip cookies! She was one of those people you meet and after you say farewell you think, "Wow, I hope I can be that kind and loving someday!" The picture you see is her and my momma after she completed a marathon in 1984! I thought that was so cool as a kid so I ran one in 2018! I'm using this Swiss Alp Lederhosen Race as an opportunity to fundraise for the ALS association because they sent nurses and technicians to her house to outfit her with a state of the art electronic wheel chair during the latter days of her battle with ALS. They helped my dear Aunty and I know they're out there doing their best to help ease the suffering of others with ALS while researching treatments and cure opportunities!
