OK...So here we go!
It is funny how things go from nothing to something in the blink of an eye. What was in one moment a concept has quickly been shaped into this fundraising project for Lupus Canada and I am so happy to have you along for the ride.
The weird thing about starting a blog, is that in the beginning, you don't have a whole lot to share...Mostly just a broad vision, some goals and a little bit of background information, but what I have come to realize is that a blog is about the JOURNEY - And this Journey started close to ten years ago when I was first diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
Fast forward ten years (I promise to fill in these gaps as we become better acquainted!) and here I am, gearing up for my return to the Marathon (a distance that has plagued me for years) and a fundraising project that has me pretty jazzed about the whole thing. These days, most of my Journeys start and end at a trail head, or a long winding road with my running shoes on and a partner beside me. It is my passion for running and healthy living that drives LaceUp4Lupus. My vision is to create a team of like-minded individuals, (passionate about living well) together to raise funds and awareness for a disease that has been in the dark far too long.
There are many ways you can be involved in supporting my goal of raising $4200 ($100 per/km) for Lupus Canada and ultimately raising the profile of this disease - A disease that affect 1:1000 Canadians! Whether you choose to donate, "Join the Pack" or simply help spread the word. Everyone can feel like they are contributing. And in the end you will be doing something positive for yourself too! How's that for a WIN-WIN?
So...Welcome, friends, family and soon to be 'Pack Members'. I am so looking forward to our Journey together.
