Running for the kids

When I first learned about CZC in early 2010, I immediately wanted to get involved. Being from Texas and not having any camps close by, I knew I would have to save up money to travel to one of the camps, either California or Virginia with those being the closest. I had set aside a date in August to attend one of the camps in California, but my best friend's bridal shower ended up being the same weekend, so my plans to attend were cancelled. 

I initially heard about CZC Runs Disney when an announcement showed up on my Facebook newsfeed. I had been thinking about running a half marathon for the past couple years but never got around to it, so I thought this would be a great opportunity. Completing a goal AND raising money to send grieving children to camp- perfect!  

Crossing that finish line was such an amazing feeling and one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. I am so happy I was able to meet some of the great people of CZC in Orlando and I can't wait to get more involved!

Running for the Little Buddies

I ran Disney for my amazing little buddies who supported me through the trials and tribulations of training. When posed with the option of running and raising money, I thought this could be the funds bringing my inspiring little buddies back to camp or provide the opportunity for other kids to join the Comfort Zone community.

I want to continue to learn from them and help each camper recognize the strength and courage they already carry within. I feel privileged to be part of such a selfless group of people with contagious positivity and cannot wait to start the 2011 camp season - let the sizzle begin!!

No Better Feeling Than Crossing That Finish Line

Initially, I signed up to run so that each step would represent a step towards a year in recovery from two knee surgeries and a step closer to helping a child start his or her road to creating a new path in life. 

As time went on and my knees didn't recover like they should have, my training was interrupted, I continued on the new path being created for me even if it wasn't the one I had envisioned.

I was determined to complete the 13.1 miles and help a child begin a new path regardless of how much it hurt, because the pain I was in would not be anything compared to the pain a child feels after the loss of a parent or sibling. 

There was no better feeling than crossing that finish line and I am honored to be able to be a part of this amazing organization!!!!
