Meg's Miles

This morning, I participated in a "virtual run" called Megs Miles in honor of Meg, a wife and mother (of three) who was hit and killed by a drunk driver on her morning run this past Monday.  After I ran and cooled down, I sat down to continue my (home-based) billing business work.  I had Facebook open behind my billing program.  Along with the Megs Miles event, there's a Meg's Miles Supporters Facebook page.  All day, and still, people are posting the stories of their runs, their condolences, and in several cases, inspirational stories of their own. There is one amazing young woman, Amanda, who was run over by a drunk driver five years ago, and has to use crutches to get around.  She "crutched" four hours to complete a 10K for Meg. She has also done other amazing stuff, like the Spartan Race (see article about her here). There's another young girl who has a disability that necessitates the use of a walker.  Andie walked two miles for Meg. There is another woman who is a young widow.  She ran for Meg.  The stories posted on the wall of that Facebook page could keep you crying for hours, because of the outpouring of love, support, and just the plain, raw glimpse into the good of the human spirit.
