In 2014, Andrea Lytle Peet was diagnosed with ALS at 33 years old. She was told to get her affairs in order, so she did, and she waited. Eventually, Peet got tired of waiting and decided to start living. The documentary Go On, Be Brave follows Peet for more than three years as she sets herself an ambitious goal: to become the first person with ALS to complete a marathon in all 50 states. Peet will also take a tour of the town with Prolyfyck Run Crew on September 22, starting at Jefferson School African American Heritage Center.
