Half Marathon

Hi, so I work a ton.. usually 60+hrs a week. I've still been walking a lot. I had RNY on Sept. 6th. And down 177lbs. I've already mentioned in another post that I'm looking at doing a half marathon in January at Disney. I'm planning on joining a team and collecting donations for "Give Kids the World". I have had some unforeseen expenses with my daughter so even the $150 entry fee would be tight. But I will figure it out if I get some interest. I have to have $1000 in donations minimum but of course would like ad much as possible. It would be making the donations in the name of son who passed away in 2015 from NF1 and my daughter who has it too. Both got Disney wishes and stayed at give kids three world. GKTW.ORG so you can look at the charity. Just a wonderful place. Thanks.

Good luck!

My story is similar. Surgery on Nov. 30 and as of this morning I'm down 117 since I started this journey last July.

I'm running the runDisney 10k at Disneyland Park in Anaheim over Labor Day weekend. I decided to run for a charity as well (Kellsie's Hope, supporting children with cancer) because I knew that the motivation of people donating money and supporting a charity would help kick me in the butt on those days when I just didn't want to get out of my chair and run.

For the 10K with my group the minimum donation was $500. I was surprised that my friends and family met that goal fairly quickly, and I've since raised it to $1000 and I'm only$62.00 away from meeting that goal as well!

So I guess I'll have to run the race now! Yikes!

I have run 4 half marathons. It will be an amazing experience. I still cry everytime I cross a finish line.
