Laura and Julie just returned from the 26.2 with Donna Marathon in Jacksonville, Florida. What a honor it was to be a part of something so inspiring and so encouraging. All of the proceeds from the run go to support breast cancer research and the care of breast cancer patients at the local Mayo clinic.
The race was founded by Donna Deegan, a local Jacksonville newscaster, and 3-time breast cancer survivor.
As an avid marathoner, Donna was inspired to establish the annual race 26.2 with Donna: The National Marathon to Finish Breast Cancer. 26.2 with Donna is the only marathon in the country that is dedicated exclusively to raising funds for breast cancer research and care. One hundred percent of the proceeds go directly to breast cancer research at Mayo Clinic and to women living with breast cancer through The Donna Foundation.
