Hi friends!
I am excited to announce that I will be running my first full m-a-r-a-t-h-o-n
(42.2km) on Sunday May 3rd, 2015, when I take part
in the BMO Vancouver Marathon! I was considering running this race
without bringing much attention to it, until I realized I can sign up
as a Run4Hope Charity Runner to raise funds for a local charity. So
why wouldn’t I? Now I am training hard, and also fundraising for the
Vancouver KidSafe Project Society as a member
of the Team of Heroes!
This may or may not come as a surprise, but I have never
considered myself athletic. If you knew me in elementary school, you
will know that I was the smallest, least sporty kid and absolutely
hated gym class. I started running 7 years ago for exercise. Slowly I
started running around the block. Then had the courage to sign up for
my first 5k race. Followed by the Sun Run. Then a half marathon. Then
another! Finally, a sport I could do out of sheer stubbornness and determination!
On marathon day, I will run for all the underdogs. I will run,
simply because I can. I will run, since I am too stubborn to stop. I
will run for the kids, so that they can continue to grow strong and
healthy through mentorship, activities and loving care. I will run,
for all the kids who want to but can’t for one reason or another. And
I will run, knowing that I’m no longer the kid who couldn’t run :).
Let’s work together to make a difference in our community! I
will do the leg work (pun intended) and here’s a chance to exercise
your giving heart :).
Stay tuned for updates!
