Dawn Manuelito is readying her body, and mind Sunday prepping for a mission to honor not only her Native American heritage but a family legacy of courage.
“It’s something I’m supposed to do, and the time is now,” said Manuelito.
Next Sunday, Manuelito will join tens of thousands in Washington D.C. for the Marina Corps Marathon. A 26-mile race in memory of a man who helped shape who she is today.
“He served our country, he served it in a bigger way than most people can even understand or fathom,” said Manuelito.
