Breast Cancer Awareness Month and The DONNA Foundation: A Chat with Fellow Runner and Fundraiser from the D-Squad, Babs DiGirolamo

This week, we chatted with fellow D-Squad member and runner Babs DiGirolamo.  As the D-Squad, we volunteer at events that support the Donna Foundation, including DONNA Marathon Weekend.  We help promote the events and fundraise for the foundation.  Babs is a fantastic example of runners as passionate as we are about finishing breast cancer and supporting The DONNA Foundation.  She has excellent tips about the race weekend, too!
