Let's see where to begin...back in late November/early December of 2016 I received an email notification from Megan Melville mentioning Expect Miracles Foundation received 2 bibs for the 2017 Boston Marathon. Being a current volunteer for the Foundation, I thought it would be such an amazing opportunity to support an organization that's close to my heart and potentially run the marathon that I've watched as a fan for the past 6 years. However, 2 bibs meant A TON of competition so I applied on a whim just to throw my name in the hat. Two weeks later I received a call from Megan. I thought it was going to be more a conversation like "Thank you so much for your application but we went with so-and-so", but in reality she said "you've been selected to be one of the runners in the 2017 Boston Marathon". At that moment, my heart sank and I teared up in joy. I was thrilled to have been chosen out of so many applications and never felt more grateful. I immediately signed the papers and accepted the difficult journey of training and fundraising.
