In this solo episode, Lisa shares her experience of training for and running the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon with Project Purple. At ten months postpartum, she took to the streets of NYC on a perfect marathon day, raising awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer research. From the hours of training to the electric energy of the cheering crowds and thoughtful race-day details like lactation support for moms, Lisa reflects on how every step of the race was fueled by purpose and community. Always remember your WHY! The Project Purple cheer zone was unparalleled and running through purple confetti and dancing along the course were highlights for Lisa.

Tune in for an honest look at the mental, emotional, and physical journey behind 26.2 miles, how community made every step possible, and why raising awareness for pancreatic cancer truly takes a village. Whether you're a seasoned runner, a charity supporter, or simply someone seeking purpose through action, this episode will leave you inspired to go the distance for something bigger than yourself.
