Why am here?
I love sports, I love races, and I am very competitive. I have found it very rewarding to run for a good cause in the past. That’s why I am here.
Why EMC?
We are in the twenty-first century, future mothers should not have to worry about whether her baby’s or her own life is in danger during delivery. Child birth already is challenging enough -- painful and requiring extraordinary effort, even without complications. A fetus has the right to all the care he needs, and most of all he needs to have his mom there for him. That’s why I chose to raise funds for EMC; it seems that together we can have an impact and help prevent future disasters in the delivery process.
Why now?
I’m running the NYC Half Marathon on March 18, 2012, so I thought I’d use this as an opportunity to try and raise funds for EMC. My goal is to run the race under 1:40 (my ultimate goal being 1:28). I have an injury with my knees so I don’t want to push too hard: my strategy is to cross train: swim, core exercise, bike (outdoors and at Soul Cycle!) I’m also willing to work on my mental endurance. (Chrissie Wellington is an inspiration to all of us, men and women).
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
"We were all children once. And we all share the desire for the well-being of our children, which has always been and will continue to be the most universally cherished aspiration of humankind."
ps. i’m 6 years old when my mom took this picture. I was fortunate to be born healthy. Everything went fine the night I was born, except that the nurses yelled at my mom at the hospital for sleeping with me on her chest the whole first night. They told her that she was totally unconscious. I could have easily fallen on the floor and it could have been a disaster.
