Marathon Mettle
Today is Marathon Sunday. Top runners from around the world are competing under runner-friendly skies in New York City. Molly Seidel, the American who won Bronze in the Tokyo olympics, is out to prove her medal wasn't a fluke. However, there is one runner in the mix who is not a household name, but who returns to the New York City Marathon after twenty years.
Kellie Kenny, a dedicated marathoner and former employee of both Cantor Fitzgerald and Baseline, recently regained the emotional courage to re-enter this NYC race after an inspirational finish in 2001. The 2001 NYC Marathon was soon after Kellie had lost scores of friends and colleagues on 9/11. Despite the utter grief and despair of that infamous day, Kellie maintained her training regimen that year. Not only did she compete and finish with a respectable time, but she also adorned herself with 26 flags for 26 lost friends - one flag for each mile-marker. She is hailed in the pages of Undaunted.

Words are often hard to come by when the events of 9/11 are contemplated. The non-fiction work known as Undaunted brings a hard focus on a small group of people that occupied the 77th and 78th floors of the South Tower of the WTC. They worked for Baseline. The book shares the thoughts, emotions, physical experiences and eventual resolve of the survivors. This blog attempts to extend that story and give readers additional insight into the business and characters in this true story of leadership.
