Episode 107 - Dawn Meyer & Rebekah Weems Talking the Gunther Run

I'm excited to be able to return to the podcast this week with two amazing ladies to talk about an upcoming event at Sandia High School on April 30th.

Dawn Meyer and Rebekah Weems join me to talk a little about their start in running and then to give us some insight about the upcoming Gunther Run to Remember.

If you never knew Sandia's former baseball coach who passed away from cancer in 2017, you get an opportunity to hear from one of his good friends, Dawn Meyer, about what kind of person he was and why we are putting together this event to honor his memory. All donations go toward the Gunther scholarship, which is given to two graduating seniors and all donations over $15 get a shirt.

I'm happy to be a part of this and I encourage anyone looking to get out and move, to come on by. The run takes place through Sandia's campus and though it doesn't offer the fastest course, it offers you an opportunity to be a part of the community. There will be vendors and activities at the finish, so come and join us.

I couldn't be more proud to be able to bring attention to this event and be able to highlight it as I come back from my hiatus. I'm looking forward to bringing more stories from people in and from our great state and I hope you're excited too.

While we highlight great things going on in the state, let's keep in mind those that are in terrible situations with the fires forcing evacuations and devastating land and property throughout the state. Stay safe, stay helpful, and keep running, New Mexico.
