❤️ A Quick Update ❤️

First and foremost, I want to sincerely apologize for the delay in posting the official race results from the Lynette Tenaglia Memorial Run.

Shortly after the event concluded, I became ill and was unfortunately hospitalized with pneumonia. While I am now recovering, it has delayed my ability to complete some of the post-race responsibilities, including finalizing and publishing the results.

Please know that your accomplishments have not been forgotten. Whether you completed your first mile, your first 5K, a marathon, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, or achieved an incredible 100-mile milestone, we are so proud of every single one of you. Your efforts, dedication, and support of our mission mean more than words can express.

I am currently working through the results and participant recognition as my health allows, and I appreciate your patience and understanding during this unexpected setback.

Thank you for being part of something so special. Because of you, we were able to honor Lynette’s legacy, raise awareness for hydrocephalus and neurological disorders, and support families who need it most.

We can’t wait to celebrate your achievements properly very soon.

With gratitude,

Amanda Head
Vice President & Race Director

📸✨ A Special Thank You to Lara Mahr ✨📸

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Lara Mahr of Lara Mahr Photography for her incredible support throughout the entire Lynette Tenaglia Memorial Run weekend.

Not only did Lara spend the event capturing countless memories through her camera lens, preserving moments that participants and families will cherish for years to come, but she also accomplished an amazing personal milestone, completing her very first 100K! 🎉🏃‍♀️

What makes this even more special is that her photography support was completely unexpected. While challenging herself on the course, she still found the time and energy to document the spirit, determination, and community that made this event so meaningful.

Lara, your generosity, dedication, and willingness to give back embody everything this event is about. Thank you for sharing your talent, your time, and your heart with all of us. We appreciate your support more than words can express. ❤️

Please join us in congratulating Lara on her first 100K and thanking her for helping make this event unforgettable! 👏📸🏅

🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, We Remember❤️

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage, selflessness, and dedication to protecting the freedoms we enjoy every day will never be forgotten.

As we spend time with family and friends, let us also take a moment to remember those who are no longer with us. The heroes whose legacies live on through the lives they touched and the freedoms they preserved.

At Lynette’s Love, we believe in honoring lives that leave a lasting impact. Today, we remember our fallen service members with gratitude, respect, and appreciation for their sacrifice.

⭐ May we never forget.
⭐ May we always remember.
⭐ May we continue to serve others in their honor.

From all of us at Lynette’s Love, we wish you a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

❤️🤍💙

🍽️ Race Update & A Huge Thank You to Mama G’s Catering! 💙❤️💜

After a long day on the course, nothing hits the spot quite like a hot meal, and Mama G’s Catering absolutely delivered! Tonight’s dinner featured delicious grilled chicken, roasted potatoes, creamy mac & cheese, and seasoned rolls (my personal favorite) exactly the kind of comfort food our runners and volunteers needed to refuel and keep going strong.

A heartfelt thank you to Mama G’s Catering for taking such great care of our Lynette’s Love family throughout race weekend. Your support means the world to us, and our participants have been raving about every meal! 🍽️👏
