Breast Cancer Awareness and One Rad Runner

By Color Me Rad | Blog, Hall of Fame, Train | One Comment

Meet Linda, a RAD runner from Hartford!

Linda spent several years training as a long distance runner and was then diagnosed with breast cancer. Linda continued running through chemo and made it through 10 miles of a half marathon while in the midst of chemo treatments. In Linda’s own words:

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and used running to get me through chemo – I had signed up for a half marathon – I managed to get through the first 10 miles before the chemo kicked in. I have completed 2 – 10 mile races and a number of fun runs… I am signed up for 2 half marathons the beginning of 2016 – I am going to cross the finish line…

This month we celebrate Linda and all other RAD runners by spreading the word about breast cancer awareness.

RAD Since Forever

By Color Me Rad | Hall of Fame | No Comments

Friends for over 30 years, Becca and her 5 best friends first met in a girl scout troop as kindergarteners. From elementary school through college and now as grown ups with jobs and families of their own these friends have stayed in touch. Now living in 4 different states, they knew running Color Me Rad 5k was the perfect occasion to train, get together and make another 30 years worth of RAD memories.

5K Fun Run With A Purpose

By Color Me Rad | Hall of Fame | No Comments

After an IED explosion in Iraq in 2006, Bobby Lee Body has endured surgeries every year since then to try to repair his shoulder and left knee. But on September of this year his leg was amputated. With determination to get up no matter what, Bobby walked on a prosthetic leg just 7 weeks later on October 31.

He continues to gain strength through tough physical therapy 3 times a day Monday through Friday at the Ann Arbor VA. Bobby is kind, fun loving and proud to have served his country so his wife Terri surprised him with a Color Me Rad 5K registration and we’re sure glad she did. Because now not only are his friends and family proud of him for his bravery in combat and his bravery in recovery, but now we all get to be proud. Thanks Bobby.
