Barbara Brown started running “by accident” after knee
surgery three years ago. Since then, she has been in and out of the hospital
for numerous surgeries on her spine, but that hasn’t kept her from staying
active! Despite a back condition, she has run in numerous races, and though she
never claims to be fast, she always finishes strong. “My mantra is: ‘First or
last, it’s the same finish line,” she says. Barbara’s best friend’s niece has
multiple myeloma, and though she was in remission for a time her cancer is
active again. Barbara is running this race for her; it will be her second marathon,
as well as her last. Yet another back surgery may force Barbara to hang up her
running shoes, but that’s just another reason to make this race count!
