Heidi’s a teacher of 32 YEARS. Every year, she dedicates a mile of her run to each of her students: “Being able to share this gift with 26 third graders leaves them with a memory that their teacher put health as a priority.” Let’s hear it for Heidi!👏 #BostonQualifier #BQ (3/3)

Her first Boston was in 2009 & Boston has always remained her “Greyhound” of marathons. “When I came home from my first Boston, I remember telling myself that the Mother Ship will always call me home in April, as long as I stayed the course, and it’s proven so.” (2/3)
