<blockquote><p>In 2006, the awesomely wonderful <a href="http://katespencer.tumblr.com/">Kate Spencer</a> ran a marathon (and dedicated the run to her mom) in Maine. Justin Purnell organized a group of folks together to drive up and surprise Kate on the route. We left NYC at 1am on a Saturday and drove straight there. Katie Dippold and Chad Carter flew in to see Kate as well (only Justin knew this, we were also surprised by them!).</p>
<p>I was digging through my old flickr account when I found these photos. Moments like these are what I think of when I think about this community. </p></blockquote>

<p>I’ve written before about the amazing support I received from the UCB community/friends when my mom was ill, and this is a wonderful example. I don’t really have words for how much this meant to me and still does. These are some of the greatest people I know.</p><p>Also pictured: my BFF Liese who ran the race with me even though she has the agility and speed of an antelope whereas I run like a manatee trying to move on land. Not pictured: the large group of college friends and my mom’s friend Kathlyn, who also ran this race, and the hundreds of people who donated and helped me raise $20k for pancreatic cancer research. Thanks for posting these Pat. My friends are amazing! I’m so lucky.</p></blockquote>
