John Underwood and Jill Barker ran in the Resolve to Run race last year. “I have done the Resolve to Run program twice,” said Underwood. “I have to admit that I was reluctant the first time, already being a runner with set habits. However, I knew that Thrive was a good cause and deserved support. Now I am an enthusiastic participant. It's great for those just starting running, having a coach and a built-in support group. What surprised me is that it's also great for more experienced runners. I learned a lot from the coach and other runners and met a whole new group of friends. Of course, the biggest reward is helping Thrive continue its good work.”
