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!!!!
