I was good friends with Gabe Grunewald. Gabe was a professional runner that passed away from rare cancer. I am also a board member at Brave Like Gabe and we hope to continue on Gabe’s mission of raising awareness for rare cancer. Join us at the 7th Annual Brave Like Gabe 5K happening September 28th! This annual event supports rare cancer research – specifically Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, Gabe’s specific kind of cancer. You can register to run with us in St. Paul on September 28th or virtually from anywhere in the world! No excuses – everyone can join! Head on over to bravelikegabe.org to register and to learn more about Gabe, the Brave Like Gabe 5K, or to help us in the fight against rare cancer.
Maya Mor
Maya Mor, founder of Girls Run Global is a young track and cross country runner from Minnetonka, Minnesota. She graduated from high school spring of 2023 with personal bests of 2:14.19 in the 800m, 4:51.69 in the 1600m, 9:55.66 in the 3000m, and 17:43.30 in a cross country 5k. Injuries and other challenges the past few years led her to decide to take a gap year prior to running at Georgetown University. She has spent the last 12 months recovering and building back towards healthy running before she joins the Hoyas this fall with big ambitions.
