Many of you have been encouraging witnesses to the past marathon journies I've embarked on through the years. This year will be no exception as I am very excited to share the 2013 installment with you! As some of you know I was miraculously accepted to run in the world's oldest and most prestigeous race, the 117th Boston Marathon held on Monday, April 15, 2013.

This year will be very different as I have the utmost joy to be running for an amazing cause called Dream Big!. Dream Big! focuses on helping low-income girls achieve thier dreams by providing the basic items necessary to enable them to participate in sports.

To that end, I'd love your financial support as I take on a winter training schedule (and hills!) to prepare for Boston. For someone who promises every year never to run a marathon again, I've found a new reason to run this coming year and hope you would join me once again on an unforgettable journey of 26.2 miles.
