We’ve said this a thousand times on this program: every runner out there has a story; their  “why” that gets them out there logging those miles, pushing the pace, hitting the starting line.

In that respect, this week’s guest isn’t much different from the rest of us. 

Fact is, Matt Nolan isn’t the first person to use running in an effort to pay it forward. He’s not the first guy to leverage his network to reach a lofty fundraising goal. He’s not even the first one to turn a very personal tragedy into motivation for a very public goal. 

But it’s the genuine place of gratitude that all this effort is coming from that let me know I had to have him on the show. And, yes – running and run clubs have everything to do with the fine mess he’s gotten himself into now! Here’s Matt Nolan on this episode of The Running Around Charlotte Podcast.
