I decided to run my first half marathon on October 16, 2011, at the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco. I've dedicated my body to working towards my personal goal of completing a half marathon and I am raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma.
When I first signed up in May, it was through a series of divine events. I did not know of anyone personally who struggled with leukemia or lymphoma. I prayed and felt that I was supposed to move forward with joining the team and running the race. I'm not a natural runner but I know that if God is with me then what could ever stand against?
In July, a family member was diagnosed with lymphoma. I knew then that God had a plan all the while for me to run this race and that He was in control. It's with God's strength and for His glory that I run.
