The Dopey Challenge Medal. Sponsored by JordanRunner, in honor of Jonah and his family, who inspired me to run towards this goal that seemed impossible. Well, I did it! And finally… A sixth medal for Autism Speaks: their Team Up!

Please consider joining us and running your next 5k for Autism Speaks.
