Okay - so my goal in February was to run as Tinkerbell from Epcot through the Magic Kingdom and back. Yes, my goal was to celebrate my 40th birthday with friends and 17,000 other princesses and fairy's. Silly goal, no doubt - but one that helped me cross the finish line of another half marathon!My goal for Team BIMBO is entirely different. Simply put, it's to make good on a promise I made to Jenna. You see I've only been at this running thing for 14 months. During my first half marathon last April, I vividly recall the moment and place where God placed Team BIMBO into my heart. I came home and told Jenna that Mrs. Gorski would keep running and I was going to bring some folks with me - for Believe In Miracles.
Our team size, our jerseys, the synergy - all of it comes as no surprise, really. My goal for this team is simple. Honor God, bless Believe In Miracles and help as many local kids as possible and keep good on a promise I made a year ago. Jenna was a great young lady and inspired many. In her memory, I train.
This year alone, Believe In Miracles has worked with and blessed SIX kids! Those kids live right here...they are within a 20 mile radius. Cancer didn't care about the size of their family, if they had their bills paid or if it was a good time for a major life interruption. Cancer doesn't choose favorites. Believe In Miracles helps those kids who are facing life threatening diseases and offers hope and love. A little well deserved respite from their daily struggles.
YOU are a major part in what Believe In Miracles will be able to accomplish moving forward.
What are YOUR RACE GOALS? Why are your training? KNOW WHY YOU ARE TRAINING! Picture that face, remember someone else's struggle, know without a doubt that whatever is motivating you across that line, God will bless you in return.
