And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross – Hebrews 12:1b-2a

In November I set a personal goal to participate in one 5k per month. Today I completed the 3rd one since November 22nd.

I’m not sharing this to brag but to illustrate that “excercise should be a celebration for what your body (that God created) can do, not punishment for what you ate.” – Unknown.

The beneficiary of Believe 5k – 10k is:

First Responders Children’s Foundation provides financial support to both children who have lost a parent in the line of duty as well as families enduring significant financial hardships due to tragic circumstances.  First Responders Children’s Foundation also supports, promotes, and facilitates educational activities and programs created and operated by law enforcement and firefighting organizations whose purpose is to benefit children or the community at large.
