Run-Gooder #11 – Gabe Grunewald
When I started the Runners Doing Good Instagram account, I wanted to tell some stories of people overcoming obstacles, choosing to live a healthier life, or achieving something incredible…all with the idea that some runner somewhere might be inspired. It has been tremendously worthwhile and rewarding, especially when the person and their story somehow findContinue reading “Run-Gooder #11 – Gabe Grunewald”
Run-Gooder #9 – Michael
It was early 2015. Team Runnin’ Not Walken had about 8 or 9 of our 12 spots filled.

Run-Gooder #8 – Amanda

Looking Forward
I saw this off of the “Power of Positivity” Page on Facebook, which is a great follow by the way, and I needed to share it as it’s really appropriate for where I’m at right now. This whole Runners Doing Good thing has been very enjoyable and I’ve found the writing being therapeutic to a degree. Continue reading “Looking Forward”
Run-Gooder #2 – Stephanie
So this page isn’t just about promoting fundraising causes.

Tomorrow’s #GivingTuesday but who gives more than Moms? IfContinue reading “Run-Gooder #2 – Stephanie”
