Becca Boylan, a fifth generation Montanan, recently completed a 475 miles run across her home state to share the story of her mother's fight against Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The inspiration for the run came after Becca's experience helping her mother fight the disease for the past year and using running as a way to "metabolize" the emotions she was going through.

Through the metaphor of running, Becca, the oldest of six kids, hoped to show others that we are capable of far more than we think possible and we hold the strength we need to face any of life's challenges, whether it's a cancer diagnosis or a mountain marathon.
