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!
