My Events
- July 18, 2010: Napa-to-Sonoma Wine Country Half Marathon
Lisa Natale
I believe that strength and confidence comes from within and with that belief, I know I can achieve any goal I want to achieve.
I first would like to comment on what an honor it is to be a part of this organization! I have read the other athletes' pages and know what a great opportunity WE all have to make a difference in the pursuit of finding a cure for pediatric cancer! My journey in finding E2C and becoming an "athlete" was somewhat random and definitely unexpected. But, life is a glorious puzzle and it is amazing to look back and see one's puzzle come together!
About two years ago, I started running...and YES I kind of had a Forrest Gump moment. One Saturday morning, I looked at my door, slid out of my bed, strapped on my running shoes, and said to myself, "I think I am going for a run today!" Now mind you I never ran a day in my life!! Even in high school when it was a requirement to run one mile, I would somehow convince a doctor to write me a note to get out of the situation. But, life can throw some curve balls, and two years ago I found out that I have a passion and love for running! This new found love has inspired me to push myself to run a 1/2 marathon and try to help raise money for pediatric cancer! I know by challenging myself I not only can do things I never thought I would possibly be able to do, but in the process I will help inspire a child that they too can get through their difficult challenges of painful and scary treatment process.
I hope after hearing my random and unpredictable story it will motivate you to consider donating to a very worthwhile charitable event that helps take care of our most precious resource our young children!
Thanks for your contributions!
