The people and friends who gave me advice, help, and support along the way deserve the medal as much as I. I don't know exactly when I will run my next race, but I know that it will inform my future.

In Alive Inside, Dan Cohen discovers the life buried within them through music and fights to get that music to individuals within our nation's nursing home system.

Please join us as we remember our co-founder, singer, and board president,
Jeff Dinsmore, who passed away on April 14.
