I was extremely happy and proud to enter my team of runners in the City of Hope's annual Walk for Hope to Cure Breast Cancer. This special event took place in the City of Duarte, CA, centered around the City of Hope National Cancer Center, with the purpose of raising dollars for breast cancer research and awareness. More than 8,000 runners from across the country showed up to embark on the 5K & 10K runs and support a fantastic cause. We felt very privileged to participate in such an inspiring event.

As a personal fitness trainer, nothing is more satisfying than to instill a fitness-centric work ethic and utilizing it for the benefit of one's self and those of others. Our goals for next year are to field a larger team of runners, to set personal bests after months of training leading up to the event and to help those dedicated to the event's cause.
