Program Summary: The situation was our happy, helpful, and delightful four year old grew into a withdrawn, disconnected, and depressed nine year old.  Our story revolves around how we reconnected with our child using travel experiences.  We created a quest to visit all 50 states which we accomplished over a span of 8 years.  To add an element of legitimacy I would have to run a marathon in each state as well.  It turned out to be quite the remarkable adventure for which I detailed in my book:   "Our Life on the Run: A Story of Running 50 Marathons in 50 States--A Family Quest"  Website:  www.ourlifeontherun.com   Please click on “speaking” link for complete details of each program.
