I am proud to have a group of runners in the Richmond Marathon on Saturday, November 14th, 2015, representing the Lucas Fund and honoring my first son, Lucas Carson Sanders. I consider these runners great friends and dedicated athletes. Several of which I have helped to train for the past few months to meet their goal at this event. I will be in Richmond to cheer them on and share in their persuit of personal accomplishment. Most importantly, Jen and I will be there to thank them for supporting the charity that helps babies and families at the University of Virginia Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
