When people ask why I am running? I answer because I can. In March of this year, I decided I would run a the Marine Corp Marathon. I was never a runner. In fact, I started working out for the first time in four years in October 2007. And, well, in mid-March I began training for my official training. (Yes, I had to train to train) Since then, I have ran roughly 400 miles. I am half way done with my training and still have 252.2 miles until I cross the white finish line. And with full confidence, I think this could be one of the greatest experiences in my life!
When people ask why I am raising money? I tell them because I believe and care for this cause. I live near Camp Lejeune NC and have met GREAT servicemen and women. They do wonderful things for this country, and this is how I can show my respect.
And really in the end, I have hope. I have hope that they all come home safe. I have hope that the money I raise will touch the families that need it. And finally, I have hope that my fundraising will bring hope to at least one other person. HOPE. |
