Former Casey Cares administrator Wendy is back to join us for our 5K! She says, "My family loves supporting Casey Cares as they are dear to our hearts. We believe in their programs and we know this race strengthens the support they can give to the families in their programs."

Her journey with running began years ago when she started training with the Howard County Striders. "I started running with the Striders to meet friends and help keep in shape," she explains. Having music and friends with her when running are necessities for Wendy!

Having completed dozens of races and walks since then, she has found that the best part of running is "meeting your goals and seeing your friends succeed in theirs." This sense of community and camaraderie is what keeps Wendy coming back, race after race.

If she could share one piece of advice with someone who is just starting to incorporate running or walking into their lifestyle, it would be to "find a program you can commit to and stick with it. Also, find a pace that works best for you," Wendy advises.
