A MESSAGE FROM Megan Constantine BHOF Be Bone Strong
Running has been a major part of my life and I’m honored to have been accepted as a runner for the New York City 2024 Marathon Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation Be Bone Strong Team.
A cause I can truly support both personally and professionally. As a runner who is also a Registered Radiology and Bone Density Technologist every day I see the importance of maintaining strong bones and have personally seen the impact a healthy lifestyle can have on an individual.
Now 40 and approaching “Middle Age”, I find myself rebelling against aging so that I can live my best life. Running has helped me find my balance and strength both physically and mentally.
In 2018 I completed my first half marathon and have never looked back. My first full marathon was in 2022 and I was completely heartbroken when I DNS (Did Not Start) my second due to broken ribs.
A wise women told me “you need to have a strong base to support yourself.” My grandmother was right and would often encourage her grandchildren to be their best. I believe in the importance of helping others find their strength.
Life is hard but it is also important to help others find their own strength. I am excited joining this running team and being able to combine my two passions and I look forward to encouraging others with what I have learned as a runner as well as my knowledge of the importance of keeping our bones strong and healthy. What an amazing and much needed foundation.
On behalf of the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF), we thank you for your generous support of the 2024 BHOF 'Be Bone Strong' NYC Marathon Team! We also encourage you to take good care of your bones by eating well, exercising, and reviewing our website regularly for up-to-date information about how to keep your bones strong for life!
