(This is a guest post from Amanda Wright at Plateau Medical Center. Amanda helped coordinate the Turkey Trot in Oak Hill on Thanksgiving Day. You can read ACE's Beth Gill's blog post about the Turkey Trot here.)

In a popular sense, ideas arise in a reflexive spontaneous manner, without thinking or serious reflection. This is exactly how the Turkey Trot came to be. I thought, why not get up early and run around Oak Hill? If I thought it sounded fun, wouldn't other people like the idea too?

I am fortunate to work for Plateau Medical Center. I am fortunate to work with people who believe that anything is possible. They believe impossible things happen, not only through hard work and determination, but also because they experience in the course of their work inexplicable miracles.

So, it was with the support and encouragement of my amazing team of coworkers that in small steps an idea became an event.
