Erin Moran finished her first half-marathon on Nov. 19, helping Team Callie raise more than $5,000 for SMA research as part of the annual North Carolina Marathon.

On March 18, Erin will run her second half-marathon, this time in the ING New York City Half Marathon. She’s running to raise money for Families of SMA.

And once again, she’ll also be running in honor of Callie.

“It was a very powerful experience for me to run that race with Callie’s sweet face on my T-shirt, knowing that all those people and so many others supported me and the cause I was running for!” Erin said of the Nov. 19 race in High Point. “I knew I wanted to do it again.”

A half marathon is 13.1 miles, so Erin is working to raise $1,310 for Families of SMA, a non-profit organization that funds SMA research and provides support and information to families like ours who have been affected by SMA.

To make that goal more manageable, Erin is asking for donations of $13.10. If 100 people were able to donate that amount, Erin would reach her goal.

“I would love to raise more if possible,” said the High Point native who started running last July, about four months before completing the half marathon in November.

We were proud to have Erin as part of Team Callie in November, and we’re proud that she’ll be running in honor of Callie in New York next month.
