 Hi there, Crites. I am a senior studying biochemistry and molecular biology as well as psychology, and I'm also pursuing a master's in biotechnology in four years. I'm originally from a small town in New Hampshire called Hollis that is corn and cows for the rest of our time. My name is Matt Ludkins. I am a junior studying sociology and economics in the College of Rights and Sciences with a minor in public policy analysis. I am originally from Campbell, Pennsylvania, which is a small town right outside of Harrisburg, the capital, and I'm so excited to be writing the Boston Marathon this year. We decided to run the marathon a little bit as a joke initially. We had joked about it before as, oh, this would be something cool to do, before we leave. He just called me and was like, do you want to run the Boston Marathon? I said, sure, we'll do it. Why not? And luckily enough, back on my feet, which is a affiliate-based nonprofit that helps homeless and disadvantaged populations get back on their feet through fitness and exercise. They were fortunate enough and they were, you know, happy enough to accept us on our team. And so now we are running the Boston Marathon in support of their wonderful organization. It's a worldwide organization, but we're specifically running for the Boston branch. And their approach focuses primarily on working to provide an active support network and also promote active and healthy habits to ensure that homeless individuals have that support network that they can fall back on. Each person has to fundraise $10,000 in a certain amount of money before the Boston Marathon. And I mean, I've reached out to so many people, alumni, so many people back in my hometown, so many other people in Boston, professors who have run the Boston Marathon before. It's really just a wonderful experience to not only help those in need, but also unite around such a momentous event in Boston. We got lucky and then Matt and I are both one student government and our student government advisor named Simon is also an avid runner. And so we were able to talk to him and run ideas by him for training. And so he led us to the places we needed to go. During my peak schedule, I was running upwards of 40, 45 miles a week. These last two weeks and kind of tapering and kind of dying down my mileage. But pretty much every single week I was running four days cross training another day, and really just being active every single day. If you want to support me, you can find me on my, you can find some any updates on my Facebook, Instagram, giveandgain.com and then just search my name and if you want to support, donate, look at any updates that are going on. I wanted to help my journey. There's a given, it's given gain is the function that we use and it's all on my Instagram at Tyler underscore crites. If you see me during the race, say hello, wave, yell, do whatever, I'm excited.
