My brain has two modes, the one that makes all the lists and triple checks to make sure I have everything.

We started the Amy Schuerholz Metz and Charm City Run Scholarship presented by Saucony back in 2015 after a former store lead, Anthony, had a great idea to support our local high school students.

Thanks for the privilege of introducing our Live. Give. Run. Foundation. The creation of this 501c3 and the branding of the foundation is a continuation of what you have been helping us do for the past 19+ years. One of the best elements of hanging around for two decades is that you get to work with some great people. Two of those individuals informed me it was time to formalize our giving with an actual foundation and a name.
I had never been a part of a running training group before signing up with Charm City Run Annapolis in February 2021.
