It is with great pleasure that I announce this week’s Charity Runner Of The Week: Alexandra Curry!
Alex is running the 2013 Boston Marathon for a charity near and dear to my heart, Girls On The Run Boston. Not only will Alex be running her first Boston, it will be her first marathon overall! Alex was a high school track runner but until now has mostly stuck to running 5Ks for fun, so this will certainly be a big step, and one we’re confident she’ll take with great success.
So far, Alex reports her training is “fan-tastic!” All of us who support Girls On The Run are fully behind Alex in her training to make it from Hopkinton to Boylston St.
If you’d like to help Alex reach her fundraising goal, and support GOTR Boston, visit her fundraising page! Here’s Alex with some GOTR girls!

What a great cause and story! I’m also running for charity for MCM and hoping to reach my goal – it’ll be my first full!

That’s great, Kat! Good luck with your fundraising efforts, who are you raising money for? Best of luck for training too!
