A MESSAGE FROM Scott Cohen's Fundraising Page
Lets face it, I'm a big guy and I don't look like what people of think of when they think of a runner. Lets change that! I'm signed up and running this marathon for all the people like me, who can't sustain an 8 minute mile or have 12% body fat. I'm running this marathon to show my kids and kids in my neighborhood that you don't have to be in the best shape or the best runner in order to complete a difficulty journey, but to show them that with the right mindset, patience and practice, we can do hard things!
Help me reach my fundraiser and/or join me on a run! Any amount helps! All proceeds go to kilometer kids, a free, game-based curriculum, designed to teach kids 5-12 about goal setting, healthy habits, respect and community building, all through exposing them to the sport of running. As a noncompetitive program, it shares my values that it's not about running the fastest or winning the race, but instead it's all about working hard, being kind and having fun while becoming more physically active, being a part of a team and finding joy in the process.
