Leah and Malinda deemed themselves "Twins Run In Our Family" so they could share their experiences running together while supporting causes they care about.

Running in memory of GG & Michael

Since 2012, Leah and Malinda (@TwinsRun) have raised $2,907 to support Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation in memory of their grandmother, GG, and Leah's brother-in-law, Michael.

Charlottesville Track Club on Charlottesville Inside-Out

@LeahCville on Charlottesville Inside-Out

I was recently interviewed for a local PBS program, Charlottesville Inside-Out, to discuss running and my volunteer involvement with the Charlottesville Track Club. You can watch the amazing segment online here: http://video.ideastations.org/video/2365656451/

I was thrilled to be approached by Terri to talk about my volunteer involvement with the Charlottesville Track Club and my passion for running.

From the first contact she had with me to watching the piece air for the first time on TV, the entire experience was one of the highlights of my time in Charlottesville.

Being interviewed by Terri was like talking with an old friend. She helped make me feel comfortable and valued and it showed in the piece.

Terri was thorough and accommodating in finding the resources she needed, including photos and interviews, for a piece which I feel is an amazing and touching tribute to the running community in Charlottesville.

I've watched the segment three times already and it brings a huge smile and sense of pride to me every time!
