Malinda completed the 2018 Boston Marathon in 5:08:27! Her 24th marathon was her most meaningful (and most painful) marathon in 23 years!
If you can, it's not too late to donate $5 to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. We'll keep this fundraising page up until December 31 so you have plenty of time to donate!
Leah and Malinda are identical twins and marathon moms who 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 $4,237 to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation in memory of Leah's brother-in-law, Michael and their grandmother, affectionately known as 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 start the 2017 Boston Marathon as a charity runner with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and finish together with Leah.
Since Malinda achieved her BQ goal, she is grateful for the opportunity to run the 2018 Boston Marathon as a time qualifier and charity runner to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
If you can, please consider donating $5.
No donation is too small.
Every $1 is appreciated.
Thanks for your generosity!
