Mother Runner Emily Sallee runs on behalf of Shriner’s Hospital of Portland during the Cause + Event run.
In this Thanksgiving week, Sarah and Dimity start off the show by discussing running-related things they are grateful for, such as temperate climates for year-round running, nearby BRFs, and the vitality our fair sport provides. “Running is the time I feel most alive,” confesses Dimity. Then the ladies bring on Amy Little, a mother runner of two who allows runners to give back in a major way: Through the race she organized, Cause + Event in Portland, Oregon, racers can donate to the charity of their choice. Amy talks through how she hatched the race concept and has seen it through to the point of writing checks to 62 (62!) non-profit organizations. Oh, yeah, and Dimity talks turkey. Literally.

I LOVE the idea of choosing the charity of your choice but the accounting logistics must be a nightmare. Thanks to those who came up with this idea. NICE!
Is it silly that I’m on my third time through listening?! ;-) Love you ladies so so so so much, thank YOU all for having Amy on the show and publicizing the little race that could (and DID!). So much fun seeing the behind-the-scenes action with you SBS. love you all.
This event was AMAZING! Thank you for inviting Amy! She is absolutely wonderful. :)
