In an exclusive interview ahead of the release of his new memoir, Charles Spencer opened up on TODAY this morning about alleged sexual and physical abuse he suffered while a student at a boarding school in England.

One factor stood above the rest: "Having a group, for me, is very important. It keeps me accountable," one runner told us. If you can't find a local group or are too intimidated to join one in person, consider an online forum with like-minded people, like our Start TODAY Facebook group. |

Craig Melvin made sure to make time to see a special member of the TODAY family during a recent trip to Arizona. The TODAY anchor shared a sweet moment with Nancy Guthrie, Savannah's mom, during a visit to Tucson. Craig was there to support the Colorectal Cancer Alliance in honor of his late brother, and he took time to stop by and see Nancy. "This is friendship and love in action," Savannah wrote on Instagram. See more of her appreciation of Craig here. |
