Breast Cancer Awareness Month and The DONNA Foundation: A Chat with Fellow Runner and Fundraiser from the D-Squad, Babs DiGirolamo

This week, we chatted with fellow D-Squad member and runner Babs DiGirolamo. We, as the D-Squad, volunteer at events that support the Donna Foundation, including DONNA Marathon Weekend. We help promote the events and fundraise for the foundation. Babs is a fantastic example of runners who are as passionate as we are about finishing breast cancer and supporting The DONNA Foundation. She has excellent tips about the race weekend, too!
