Q: Why did you create this race?

A:  So little bit of back ground…I am in a Landmark Education program called SELP...Self Expression and Leadership Program….growth and development at its finest J so within the course you take on a project and have it come to reality before Feb 19^th…end of class…with measurable results in an area of life you are passionate about.  I am committed all women know their greatness. I took on this race…and along the way everything in you starts to scream…you can’t do this, you’re not going to do this, no one will be there…etc…of course on the other side is power and freedom J it is a daily challenge and I get I am in the perfect place.

 

Have you heard of Susan Komen walk for breast cancer or Habitat for Humanity…those projects came out of this program plus millions more of all sizes.  It’s a trip…and the true power comes in enrolling your community to take on the project with you…really create something more powerful together than any 1 person could have done on their own.

 

Q:  What do you intend on accomplishing out of this event?

A: Touch, move and inspire women in an area of life important to them.  Have them see themselves as worthy & beautiful.  Have them take on something in their life they ordinarily wouldn't have and share that with someone else!

 

Q:  What's Possible from that?

A: I cannot even begin to imagine the impact we could have when women truly know their GREATNESS. What would be possible for you?

Q: Will there be water and food?

A: Yes, we are working with sponsors to create post race refreshments

 

Q: What if I cannot finish?

A: Safety is our PRIMARY concern and will we will have support for you around every step of your journey....we are even creating buddy systems...we are committed you finish!

 

Q: Is this an annual event?

A: Yes this is our second year...Join us for a Fun, Flirty & Fabulous REVOLUTION!!

 

 Q: Can I share my story & goals with this community?

A: YES!! Please use our Facebook page to create the support you want!

 

Q: Are you going to start blogging again?
