IN the vibrant city of London, amid the cheers of spectators and the pounding of feet on pavement, I embarked on a journey that would test my limits, showcase my determination, and reaffirm the power of unity and family. The recent London Marathon, held on April 21, 2024, became the stage for a remarkable chapter in my life — one that I will forever hold dear in my heart.

My foray into the world of running began in 2019 when my family and I decided to take on the challenge of the TBR Marathon. Before this endeavor, we had explored different fitness activities like Zumba and CrossFit, fostering a culture of health and wellness within our family. Together, we embraced the rigors of training, pushing each other to new heights and embarking on a journey toward a common goal.
