BENEFITING: The Hall STEPS Foundation
ORGANIZER: The Hall STEPS Foundation
EVENT: 2012 Boston Marathon
EVENT DATE: Apr 16, 2012
THE STORY:
The Marathon! Seriously, who puts themselves through this much training, just to feel demoralized and defeated? So why the plunge, why the self-inflicted onslaught of pain? The answer: you take the momentary uncomfortable state of suffering, the doubts, and the tiredness and compare that with the hardships of the world, the neglect of some of the most basic human rights and necessities, one begins to see the temporariness of their situation and begins to say, “stop being so selfish, this is noting, suck it up.”
As I find myself on the door step of my 4th marathon, and my second marathon motivated by the Hall STEP Foundation, my efforts become but a small Step to end the hardships facing millions of people out there. But they are Steps, and in the end, even for a brief moment, some person, some child, will have a chance, hope, a better day. Two hours and forty minutes is worth of every STEP of pain
