Two days ago I returned from a backpacking adventure in Peru, which included a five day trek of approximately 80 kilometers, at high elevations and mostly uphill, to Machu Picchu. The strength gained, both physical and psychological, and the time spent to reflect has provided a gift of motivation for my next challenging endeavor. Less than four months from now, I will be running the Chicago marathon for the Chicago chapter of the Back on My Feet program. It is such an exciting time to train and ---quite literally--- make steps towards helping those less fortunate. It is programs like these that give people hope that no matter what situation they are in, with a little help, they can transform their lives. If you are interested in donating, you can find my fundraising page below. Any little bit helps. active/donations/fundraise_public.cfm?ckey=BoMF2013ChiMarathon&force_a2=y&key=ELinzme Learn more about Back on My Feet and all the various chapters here: backonmyfeet.org/ Chicago Back on My Feet webpage: chicago.backonmyfeet.org/ Thanks for your support!
