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 $3,081 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, has qualified (BQ'd) and finished the Boston Marathon 4 times (2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016).
Malinda, the slower 1/2 of @TwinsRun, finally BQ'd on her 12th attempt:
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)
12th attempt: 2016 Philadelphia Marathon (3:46:13)
Although Malinda did not BQ in time for 2017, she was grateful to run her 1st Boston Marathon for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and finish together with Leah.
Since Malinda finally achieve her BQ goal, she is excited to run the 2018 Boston Marathon to support Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
