So I have taken on the challenge of raising money for an excellent cause and also training to run a marathon (that's 42 km!!) in Italy!!! Crazy, I know. I have become a part of the Joints in Motion Training Team with the Arthritis Society and while I train to run a marathon, I will also be raising $6200 which will go towards helping those affected by the debilitating disease of arthritis. I have always known people who have had to deal with the pain of arthritis, but until I took up this challenge I didn't realize just how wide spread the disease really is. Doctors are predicting that arthritis will be the epidemic of the future, and it can strike anyone at anytime. And so, this is just one more thing that has me convinced that every person should live life to its fullest every day and appreciate all that you have before it is gone. I have chosen to take on a huge challenge of training for a marathon and in the process will also be able to see a part of the world I wouldn't normally get to see. Italy!!!
I will endeavor to keep this blog updated and direct anyone here who would like to know how the training and fundraising are going.
