Who I Run 4

I've been waiting to be matched with a special needs child & on Halloween night as I was finishing up trick or treating with my kids & friends, I got the e-mail I'd been waiting on. I had FINALLY been matched!

I don't have permission to share details here, just know that I'm excited & that I can hardly wait to get to know this precious child & her family. I'm PROUD to be running for her!

I  posted this picture on the I RUN 4 Facebook page & was shocked by the positive response I received. 

I'm aware the form on my plank probably sucks. When I tried to do them in may 2013., I couldn't hold a plank position at all! As I continue to get stronger, my hope is that my form will improve as well. I AM holding up the weight of 2 adults after all!

Imagine my surprise when the fonder of I Run 4 asked if he could use the picture of my workout in his first promotional video!?!?! I was both surprised & honored that he asked. Even if my picture had not been included, I'd still be including the link to this wonderful organization on my page. 

WHY do I do this? Watch the video & see. We dedicate our workouts & runs to our matches. We run & workout for those that cannot. We do it for those that are struggling...in some cases just ...to survive. In return, they push us & inspire us to work more often, to work harder & not to take our abilities for granted.

If you have a special needs child or special needs adult that you think could benefit from a buddy...then check it out. If you're interested in becoming a runner for a child, then check it out.
