"Brenda was incredibly positive, courageous, and never ever quit, got down, and never quit inspiring others. I am running to honor her, her great Doctors at Mayo Clinic, and to bring focus to terrible problem of ‘triple negative’ breast cancer which claimed my wife and the mother of our twins far to early in her beautiful life."
