Profile

Long distance running newbie. What started as a stress buster activity as I'm trying to wrap up my MS in 3 months, has now snowballed into an exciting adventure. And what better way to achieve something than supporting a great cause! I'm excited :) What's keeping me going? Faith in myself."Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step." `Martin Luther King Jr.
