Nothing speaks louder than words from participants. We asked our 2017 participants to share with us their “before” and “after” stories of 2017 edition of 100 Days of Running. And we were delighted to hear some really amazing and inspiring stuff… which motivates us to reach out to more and more people every year, and inspire them to start running.

Ideally, I became a Mom to her the day I was chosen by God to be her caregiver. You see, you don’t have to give birth to be in her shoes). This test of endurance & commitment is a tribute to her & yes, with every step I took, it was one for her. My mom’s shoes protected me against stumbling numerous times like a Mom does – it really gave me goosebumps during those times as I could feel her besides me supporting & uplifting throughout the 100 days .😇🙏
