Forty-five pounds lighter than when she started, Alyssa Brown will be conquering the Bellin Run for her third time.

“You know, with every step in the Bellin Run, it’s a step towards the finish line, and that was kind of my story.”

Alyssa's story began in 2010 as she took a leap and joined her students at Doty Elementary School in their Bellin Kids Run. "I thought, if third graders could do it, fourth graders and fifth graders could do it, then there's no reason why an adult can't do it," Alyssa remembered.
