SHOUT OUTS
Thanks to all our patrons and everyone in the Runcation Nation for your support and encouragement. Because of you, we have been able to keep the show going over the last two years, and now that the races are returning, we look forward to meeting up with you, too!
We want to shout out everyone in the Runcation Nation who helped us exceed our fundraising goal for The Donna Foundation. We raised over $2300. If you would still like to help, it is not too late. Just go to https://runsignup.com/redrunstofinishbreastcancer and donate or sign up to run virtually.
Special thanks to JoJo for recording and sharing the video she did of Josh. We got to see him unbox his get-well basket and saw JoJo sporting her RED gear, too. Josh, you look great! Keep the recovery going! We will see you at Donna Marathon Weekend in 2024.

RUN
This week, Aimee flies solo as Dana heads to Jacksonville for one of our favorite race weekends, The Donna Marathon Weekend 2023. We preview what is ahead this weekend that celebrates survivorship, determination, love, and light. This weekend helps raise funds for The DONNA Foundation to support its mission to finish breast cancer and support those who are fighting it. From the special guests to the partnership with Destination Marathons, it promises an unforgettable experience.
EAT
This week, I asked Dana what his top three destinations for delicious food are in Jacksonville, based on our experience at this race weekend and the Gate River Run 15K. We both ended up highlighting the following:
