I'm sure many of you that have been following me on a religious basis know that the title above means I have 13 days to raise $864 dollars, and in 36 days I will walk 13.1 miles in the Nike women's 1/2 marathon in San Francisco.
Now the first part is a real challenge. 13 days is not that long to raise over 800 dollars and I need your help. So please if you haven't made a donation click on the donation button on the side of the page and make one today I really need your help.
Now for the second part not as much of a challenge but still a pretty big challenge. You might be saying to yourself but Angi your walking only 13.1 miles or you might be saying Wow Angi you're walking 13.1 miles. Either way let me tell you it has not been a very easy road.
I've walked many miles over the past 5 months, doing 2 miles 3 miles 5 miles and then oh my gosh there are those long runs where I've been walking 8, 9, even 10 miles. Mind you I'm NOT out there in a leisurely stroll, I have a pace to maintain of a 16 minute mile and if you've never walked a 16 minute mile please get out there and try it. It's not as easy as some may think especially when doing it for extended amount of miles.
But I do this for a reason I do it for Lily, I do it for Christian because they can't do it anymore. I do it for Jacob, I do it for Talia, because they're still with us and they need us to help find a cure for them.
When I'm sitting around after long miles feeling sorry for myself because my knees are burning and on fire and Swollen bigger than a football, All I have to do is remember the two beautiful angels and then picture those other 2 beautiful faces and just remember what they have to go through on a daily basis, It makes my pain look small in comparison.
On October 14th 2012 I will be out there in the hills of San Francisco with all the pain in my knee with the burning sensation with all the swolleness with whatever it takes to get through 13.1 mile. And in my mind I will be remembering with every mile someone who has lost their battle with cancer or who at this very moment is fighting.
I ask for your support to help me get through these miles please make that donation no later than September 20th please make that donation today. $ 864 in 13 days.
Help me honor those who have fought and won , help me remember those who have fought and lost and help me to help those who fight the battle every day.
With all my love, admiration and respect
