Due to injuries received during training, Maria will not be able to run the 2010 Disney Half Marathon. However, Daniel Williamson will be continuing this journey so that Clark may be honored across the finish line!
In January I will be running in the Walt Disney World Half Marathon on behalf of the Rally Foundation, which raises money for childhood cancer research. The Rally Foundation provides funding in order to find better treatments with fewer long-term side effects and ultimately a cure. I will be running in honor of Clark.
Clark was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in August 2006 at the age of 15. Clark loved all sports but was an avid baseball and football player. While training for football, Clark experienced a pain in his leg, which was later diagnosed as Osteosarcoma. He spent his first year of high school receiving chemotherapy treatments in Atlanta and New York City. Clark’s attitude and determination have enabled him to overcome many obstacles and minor set-backs. He is currently preparing for his senior year of high school. He has redirected his love for sports to golf and fishing. He coaches middle school football and baseball. He stands by his motto of “adapt and overcome” as he continues to embrace all that life has to offer.
I am so proud to dedicate this race to Clark. This will be my first half marathon and to be able to achieve this dream of my own, in honor of an individual as courageous as Clark, is truly rewarding. Finishing is my goal and having Clark as an inspiration I know will get me across that finish line!
