After taking up running with my 9-year-old boy Spencer about a year ago, we have been on a journey together focusing on physical challenges and mental health.
Running has created an escape mentally for both me and Spencer who suffers from ADHD, but it's also given us the chance to test ourselves physically. This started with a Turkey Trot back in Nov 2023, then doing a 10k's and 2 half marathons.
Unfortunately, Spencer isn't old enough to run a full marathon, so I'm on my own for this one.
Now I'm signed up and fully committed to the Austin Marathon, I wanted to raise money and awareness for Two Miles Deep/Two Pints Deep who are building a community focusing on supporting mental health and suicide prevention.
