A well-tuned team of Living Wide athletes took on the Peachtree 10K with about 62,000 of our closest friends. What an amazing event and so well organized and managed. We had a great time! We agreed to doing this again next year, so think about signing up for 2019 soon.
Living Wide threw a pop-up party on the top of Mt. LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountains. Great folks, great Living Wide advocates came from far and wide to climb 5 miles to the top of LeConte. One of the most beautiful hikes you can imagine. Some bunked for the night on the top and others visited for a while and then headed back down in the same day. If you have never hiked LeConte, you should definitely put it on your "Living Wide" do list. Visit our Instagram site (https://www.instagram.com/welivewide/) for many more amazing pictures.
Just how many items can you have on a bucket list? I haven't been able to find any particular rules or regulations on the topic. But this one definitely makes the top of the list. I've never seen such a beautiful place to hike. The mountains! The water! The sky! And three of my favorite people in the world whose pictures are in the dictionary when you look up Living Wide. These folks know how to do it. My heart just sings when I look at these pictures. Thanks Angela, Andres, and Maela! You guys rock!
This threesome of great friends and running partners have set out to run across the South (and they may not stop there) while spreading the Living Wide message. They've run nearly a dozen races so far! They've adopted our philosophy, in both sense of the word adopted. They are truly living it! And they have built their unofficial team around delivering the Living Wide message wherever they go. And we love it! Let's make it official. Meet the first Living Wide running team! Don't you and a couple of friends want to join them? Running, walking, hiking, climbing, biking...whatever suits you. Just get out there, keep moving, and Live Wide!
On Saturday, May 5th, Lungevity, the nation's leading lung cancer-focused non-profit, held one of it's famous grassroots events in Atlanta, the Breathe Deep Atlanta 5K. More than 200 people turned out to run, have fun, and raise money for lung cancer research. The Living Wide team was there in force, with more than 25 humans, and 3 dogs showing our support. Living Wide led overall team fundraising, with right at $11,000, led individual fundraising with right at $6,000, and took both first place male finisher and first place female finisher. Most importantly, we enjoyed a beautiful day, got to meet some wonderful people, and were part of the larger group that raised almost $45,000 to push towards a cure!
