Derly Ortiz has made Boston her home for over 25 years after emigrating from the Dominican Republic. She enjoyed volunteering last year at the Boston Marathon and has always dreamed of being able to run in the iconic event. Derly found her passion in running more than 5 years ago. She has completed numerous half marathons and with three marathons completed, is still counting! She just upped the running ante in Disney by running the 2014 Goofy challenge.
Derly is ecstatic to be running with the Franklin Park Coalition and is looking forward to raising funds for a cause very close to her community as well her family. To support Derly’s fundraising efforts, please visit: http://www.razoo.com/story/Derly-Runs-Boston-For-Franklin-Park-Coalition
Good luck to our team runners who are trekking to Florida for the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend. While Julie and Jared are kicking off their Boston Marathon training with the half marathon on Saturday, Derly will be taking on the Goofy Challenge. On Sunday, she'll run 13.1 miles, followed up by a full marathon on Sunday.
Have runs and an enjoy the sun, runners!
