I'm very excited to be running my 11th NYC Marathon (albeit my FIRST since 1987!), made even more special by the fact that this year Rod personally invited me to help him celebrate the 40th anniversary of his breathtaking, come from behind victory in 1983, while also running to support his Rod Dixon's KiDSMARATHON Foundation, a charity that helps kids develop healthy habits by teaching them to have fun while running, and the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The KiDSMARATHON Foundation is a nonprofit "in school” daily run program, providing information to the schools and giving them ownership of the program for their community.
