As former members of the Penn Track and Field and Cross Country teams, Lauren and I consider Madison Holleran family. She was truly admired both on and off the track for her positive and captivating spirit. The number of people affected by her, before and after her unanticipated death, speaks volumes. A few months ago, I told Maddy that I was planning on running in the LOVE Run, the Philadelphia half marathon to be held on March 30th. She was so excited for me and told me that she had similar aspirations to one day compete in the race. Lauren and I have decided to run this race in Maddy’s honor. Her success on the track demonstrated a tireless work ethic that we have strived towards throughout our running careers. We will make all donations to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, in hopes of raising awareness of—as well as research money to further understand—suicide and its causes. Whether you were fortunate enough to be touched by her or not, we hope that you will support us in running these miles for Maddy.
