I want to give a shout out to my high school friend, Rachel Wilcox-Pereira and her show of strength and agility. She finished Goofy's Race and a Half Challenge in Orlando, Florida on January 9th and 10th. It's wasn't just goofy...it was insane. Rachel participated in a half marathon on Saturday with a time of 2:45 and a full marathon on Sunday with a time of 4:53. She raised almost $2,000 for the Susan G. Komen society for breast cancer and ran in memory of her aunt Diane (De) Wilcox who passed away October 23, 2008 after a 10 year battle with breast cancer. Before she passed, De's coworkers arranged a family trip to Disney World where they took their last vacation together.
Rachel finished this amazing race and raised a significant amount of money, but there is still no cure. So please feel free to donate here and help the cause. Rachel is so driven, she was actually ready to get up and run the next day. She has always been an inspiration to me with her voracious spirit and ability to give. She is trying to lure me into running the Disneyland half marathon in September. We'll see!
CONGRATULATIONS RACHEL. YOU INSPIRE ME AND MANY OTHERS.
