One of our veterans on the Northeast Team Beef is Alden Gibbs of Columbia, MD. Alden is a Systems Administrator for the government. He is a happily married father of seven children: four boys three girls. He started running in May 2015, after his yearly physical. At the time, Alden weighed 241 pounds and was asthmatic and pre-diabetic. That was his wake-up call. He changed his eating habits and started running. He went from 241 pounds to his current 175-180 pounds. His last asthma attack was July 2015. A year following his annual physical in May of 2015, his doctor was in shock and said that whatever he was doing, continue!
Alden, your fellow Northeast Team Beef-mates want to extend heart-felt sympathies to you and your family, especially your son, Alden Gibbs Jr., for the traumatic circumstances you all endured and continue to walk through as your son heals.
