Leah and Malinda are identical twins and marathon moms.
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 $3,456 to support Alex's Lemonde Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer in memory of Leah's brother-in-law, Michael and their grandmother, GG.
Leah, the faster 1/2 of @TwinsRun, qualified (BQ'd) and finished the Boston Marathon 4 times (2013, 2014, 2015 & 2017).
Malinda, the slower 1/2 of @TwinsRun, finally qualified (BQ'd) on her 12th attempt.
If at 1st you don't succeed, try 11 more times!

Malinda was grateful to run her 1st Boston Marathon as a charity runner with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and finish together with Leah.
Since Malinda finally achieved her BQ goal, she is excited to run the 2018 Boston Marathon to support Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
