Nearly every morning, Sarmistha Sen went for a run before her children, Neil, 12, and Ryan, 6, woke up. Like every part of Sarmistha’s routine, running served a purpose in her life.

As her brother Sumit Sen says, running was her release, which helped her be present, connect fully to others, and embrace her daily purpose.
When she finished her run, Sarmistha would come home, make breakfast for her boys and her husband Arindam Roy, and then start her work as a clinical research manager at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
