Nancy Mead discusses her love of running which began after the bombing at the 2013 Boston Marathon. This traumatic event inspired her son's 5th grade class to organize a 5K road race as a fund raiser. She eventually went on to host the 100 Mile Club at her local school to encourage physical activity among special needs students. Over the course of the school year, children could challenge themselves to cover 100 miles walking and running; a tremendous confidence boost!
Nancy would eventually heed the call of the trails and take on ultra distance races herself including, to date, a couple 100 mile runs. Her love of the running community and the spirit of physical movement is easy to relate to.
