A Hudson Valley runner is lacing up her sneakers this April for a good cause.
Mel Couture and her family moved to Verbank in Dutchess County from Montreal back in 2017.
Five years later, Mel says she's going to run 100 miles to say thank you to her adoptive community.
She announced the plan on Facebook, and says she'll be running from the Town of Washington recreation track to raise money for the Ryan McElroy Children's Cancer Foundation.
If you'd like to donate, here's a link to the GoFundMe.
