The DONNA Marathon Goes Virtual
Donna Deegan, founder and namesake of The DONNA foundation, which helps women and families going through breast cancer, joined us to discuss this year’s DONNA Marathon. The event will be conducted virtually this year, and participants can keep track of their time and submit it online.
Deegan, a former Democratic congressional candidate, also shared her thoughts about a possible future run for political office following her previous attempt to unseat incumbent Republican Rep. John Rutherford (FL-District 4).
