Steve Kowalski, a grade school teacher in Michigan, ran the NYC Marathon in 2016 in support of Companions

in Courage Foundation. His students and the community supported him in such a warm way, he decided to up the ante in 2021.

Kowalski will attempt to run a “Hat Trick” of marathons this year in support of the children’s charity. The marathons are: North Country in Manistee, MI (August 8), Virtual Boston Marathon (October 11) and the Cleveland Marathon (October 24).

The ‘Mane’ Event is a series of short inspirational videos created by Companions in Courage Foundation to raise spirits and to encourage healing (emotional AND physical). The subjects are real people who have overcome so much to have success in life. May their stories encourage you to a better day, week and life!
