I am hoping to post a different runner bio each day of the week highlighting the different individuals who are supporting RVA's fundraising efforts by participating in Running Against Rape 2010 this year. Below is me in a nutshell:
I have been a volunteer with Rape Victim Advocates since 2008, and I ran my FIRST marathon last year after only having previously run a 5k in my life. I was also 20 pounds overweight and had bronchitis, but I survived, living proof that ANYBODY can run when they believe in a cause! The 2010 Chicago Marathon will be my second marathon; I am honored to be hosting this blog. I recently graduated from DePaul University with an M.S. in Public Service Management and took the June LSAT simultaneously. I am a paralegal at a small litigation firm in the Chicago Loop. In my spare time I like to play with my dog Lily, volunteer, and watch old horror movies while drinking cheap pink champagne and eating popcorn. I am a sucker for jewelry and purses but am lucky if I can find a pair of matching socks on the way out the door to work in the morning. I am, most importantly, not afraid to talk about rape!
