MEDAL MONDAY - Caroline at the Marine Corps Marathon 🇺🇸

Some miles mean so much more than the finish line.

This Medal Monday, we're celebrating Caroline, who took on the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C. for a very special reason.

The race was a celebration of her husband's retirement from the Marines, with Caroline and her family also fundraising for Rising Hearts and the Hopi Cancer Assistance Fund.

As Caroline beautifully reflected after the race:

“The race was a celebration for my husband’s retirement from the Marines, and we fundraised for Rising Hearts and the Hopi Cancer Assistance Fund. The miles were meaningful and I am grateful to be able to run and celebrate life … Askwali.”

What a powerful reminder of what running can represent. It's not just about the distance, the training or the medal around your neck. It's about the people we share it with, the causes we care about, the milestones we celebrate and the gratitude we feel for being able to do what we love.

Caroline, congratulations on your marathon and on making every mile count for something bigger. We're so pleased to celebrate you and the meaning behind this incredible achievement.

Here's to running with purpose, celebrating life and being in it for the long run.
