Samantha Legge is a mom on a mission. Not only is she a stay-at-home mom that homeschools her four children, she is also training to run the New York City Marathon on Nov. 4 as a fundraiser for the Doe River Gorge camp ministry.
Legge’s running campaign is called “A Penny A Pass.” She will be starting in last place behind the 47,000 other runners that are participating in the marathon.
