Many of us have run races for a good cause, often to fundraise for a larger organization. I have done multiple races for the Komen foundation and I ran a marathon with Team in Training for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. There are reasons to run for these causes that tie into my family history and are close to my heart.
But Joe… he’s doing something different.
He is running 2 marathons 13 days apart, all in effort to raise money to directly support his friend Dom (and Dom’s) family as he is treated for a serious gastrointestinal cancer. The marathons are Boston and Pittsburgh, but the races aren’t as big as the challenge his friend Dom is facing.
Lara at Saturday Morning Zen is featuring a two-part interview with Joe about the challenge. I encourage you to read this interview to learn more.
If you would like to follow along with Joe as he trains and fundraises, visit his blog: Joe is Running for Dom.
If you’d like to do your part to share the message about a fellow running blogger’s efforts, feel free to mention the interview and Joe’s blog on your site.

I’m just catching up on blogs this morning and I feel like there’s so much going on that is so inspirational! Thanks for sharing this, Jill, I will definitely repost to help share the message 🙂
I found JOe’s blog through yours only months ago and within days I had read every post. People like Joe are (way to) few and far between. It is so obvious that he is doing this FOR DOM and not for himself. Too often people get wrapped up in raising the money, and their own training, that they forget the purpose. Joe is not like that- the purpose is always evident.
