Kristen Forbriger

I live in Columbus, Ohio, with my husband and our three boys. I’m a lifelong runner, and running NYC has been a longtime dream. I lost my first husband, Jack, to an accidental overdose 8 years ago while 6 weeks pregnant with our son. He would be turning 41 this year, and we would be celebrating our 11-year wedding anniversary. I’m running this race in his honor, to bring awareness to an issue that impacts millions, and in support of Herren Project’s work to educate and support those impacted by addiction.
