Leah and Malinda deemed themselves "Twins Run In Our Family" so they could share their experiences running together while supporting causes they care about.
Since 2012, Leah and Malinda have raised $3,054 to support Alex's Lemonde Stand Foundation in memory of their grandmother, GG, and Leah's brother-in-law, Michael.
Leah, the faster 1/2 of @TwinsRun, has qualified for the Boston Marathon (BQ) 4 times and finished 3 Boston Marathons (2013, 2014 and 2015). Leah's application to run the 2017 Boston Marathon was just accepted on Monday, September 19!
Malinda, the slower 1/2 of @TwinsRun, has yet to BQ after 11 unsuccessful attempts:
1st attempt: 2013 Chicago Marathon (4:04:21)
2nd attempt: 2013 Philadelphia Marathon (4:04:40)
3rd attempt: 2014 Charlottesville Marathon (3:56:14)
4th attempt: 2014 Rivanna Greenbelt Marathon (4:23:56)
5th attempt: 2014 Philadelphia Marathon (3:47:42)
6th attempt: 2015 Rock 'n' Roll DC Marathon (3:54:58)
7th attempt: 2015 Charlottesville Marathon (4:19:12)
8th attempt: 2015 Rivanna Greenbelt Marathon (4:23:02)
9th attempt: 2015 Philadelphia Marathon (4:01:22)
10th attempt: 2016 Rock 'n' Roll DC Marathon (4:00:23)
11th attempt: 2016 Rivanna Greenbelt Marathon (4:00:49)
Malinda is training to succeed at her 12th attempt at the 2016 Philadelphia Marathon on Sunday, November 20.
Although Malinda has yet to reach her 2017 BQ goal (3:55), you can help her reach her fundraising goal to support Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer!
