2013 Team Just Do It 4 Janessa Pittsburgh Marathon runners.
Shortly before her untimely passing, Janessa had begun training to participate in the Pittsburgh Marathon. On May 5, 2013, we ran our first marathon in her memory. By running, we hope to bring awareness of the Janessa Fleming Memorial Fund to many. Team “Just Do It 4 Janessa” had a great time and all felt honored for this opportunity.
