Maranda –
It was a special treat on Saturday evening to watch your River Bank Run special. You and your team always do an amazing job – but this one made me laugh and cry. I was weeping watching Jack’s piece on Walter again – seeing him nuzzle his daughter’s face and hearing his wife’s perspective during those first few days. Hearing their journey really puts things in perspective. And thank you for your coverage of the charity partners – they were all so pleased to be part of the event. I’m still not sure why our numbers grew so significantly this year – but your continued focus on promoting happy, healthy kids and families may be one of the answers.

Great effort by the entire Fifth Third River Bank Run Committee and the 3,000+ volunteers! What a cool community event that empowered over 20,000 people to get moving!

I’ve been a part of the WOOD TV8 team since 2005. As Special Projects Producer, I work side by side with Maranda making things happen behind the scenes. I coordinate Maranda’s Park Parties each summer and produce a variety of station broadcasts and events through out the year. I also serve as the producer of Maranda’s weekly half-hour show, Where You Live. I love the variety of my job and getting to be a part of the impact Maranda is making on kids in our community! Outside of work, I've been married for seven years to my husband John and we have two beautiful daughters, Sophia and Stella. When I'm not busy trying to keep up with the kids, I spend "me time" reading fashion or celebrity magazines, sneaking in some good reality television, walking around Reeds Lake with girlfriends and exploring new restaurants with my hubby. Inspirations for my blog come from my daily life as a busy working mom -- trying to juggle a full time job and be a full time mom to a spitfire five year old and a new baby.
