As many of you can remember last this past year I trained for the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation’s (PCRF) 10k run. After never having done a run before (I’m an elliptical gal), I was extremely anxious and nervous to participate. Thanks to a few office co-workers encouraging demanding I do it with them, I was off running.
Thank goodness PCRF put together a “VIP Training Program” which consisted of me waking up early every Saturday morning three months before the event and running with a bunch of people who are all training and raising money for the same cause. I am NOT a runner….AT ALL, but I was with coaches and people that helped me through the pain and told me I could do it. It was refreshing. Not to mention, we were doing this for the kids that aren’t able to run for themselves.
The day of the event came and I got chills by the amount of love and dedication these kids have. It was such a wonderful day and it made me proud to be apart of something great, so it was a no-brainer that I would help coordinate next years event. So here I am….a committee member.
