CSGM Board member Renee Scherck-Meyer ran the Whistlestop Marathon on Oct. 10 and raised $100 for Community Shares in the process.  Recently Renee shared her thoughts about this experience including her motivation for running her first marathon and why running for a cause is something that made this achievement all the more meaningful.
