ABOUT ME!

Alana Bresnahan, Neighbor

I am a Mother, Wife, Paralegal and Girl Scout Troop Leader!!

I am in my sixth year as a Girl Scout Troop leader to 14 smart, talented and beautiful girls from Peabody MA! I love spending time with my girls and have inspired some of them to start running as well.

This will be my second time running the marathon and I am honored to have a chance to go back and finish the race. Last year I made it to mile 25 before the race was shut down. I am honored and excited to be able to go back and show my girls that no matter what you never give up.

When I am not running races (5k's, 10k's and Half Marathons) with my amazing running buddies, I spend time with with friends and family. I am so lucky to be the mother of a be​autiful 3 year old, who can't wait to be a Girl Scout and run her first race. I am married to my high school sweet-heart, Luke. I have some of the most amazing family and friends a girl could ask for. 

I am hopeful that I will be able to be BOSTON STRONG this year and raise more money then I did last year for GSEM!!! Let's make this year's 118th Boston Marathon the best one ever.
