Support Living Journeys

Scott Earnest - Grin and Bear It  image
Hi, I am Scott. I am running the Grin and Bear It for my first time this summer. I really like running. I'd say I like mountain biking a little bit more than running, but for some reason I continue to sign up for running races. The proof is in the pudding. I did my first marathon when I was in college, but after years of injuries I didn't pick running back up until moving to Crested Butte a few years ago. Ultimately, I decided to run this race in July because a friend of mine wanted to run their first half marathon and so we agreed to train together.
Why race for Living Journeys? I want to support our community; I want to support people in the valley that are staring down the barrel of cancer. I've had multiple family members throughout the years with various kinds of cancer and have seen how difficult it can be to navigate. It's community that helps us get through challenging times. I am grateful for what Living Journeys is doing for our community and am honored to be a part of it.
