October - Atlanta 13.1 Marathon - Month of Perseverance

Today, I ran the Atlanta 13.1 Half Marathon for my cause "Run for GUA Africa"  Check it out at www.runforguaafrica.com. My goal for 2011 is to raise $11,000 by running 11 marathons and getting 1,000 to donate $11 each.    The last time I was in Atlanta, I was to face the darkest and most difficult 2-3 years of my life.  My life seemed over...I was newly sober and full of fear.  For the past 5 years, I have walked a singular path and I am better for it.  Anyone who has the courage to face the truth about themselves may find that their lives will become richer and bolder than they ever dreamed possible.  This has been my experience.

Never forget the pain ends...

Young people commit suicide because they do not realize that pain ends...They think their lives will never change.  When I was indicted for my mistakes, I though that my life would be over...I had no idea that it would be better than ever. I know today that pain ends.  I can endure anything today because I know that pain ends.
