Never Give Up

About Me

My Photo
Hello I am Stephanie M. Freeman and I have created this to let everyone walk with me through my journey I am taking to accomplish my dream of qualifying for the Boston Marathon. 
 
Running is such a passion of mine.  When I was 14 years old I experienced a life changing event that gave me this passion.  I suffered a brain injury from a car accident that left me in a wheelchair & with no hope to ever walk again.  For 2 months of my life I prayed for my miracle, and with strength and determination I proved all my doctors & nurses wrong... I walked again!
 
When I run now a days I let this memory drive me harder than ever to be the best person/runner I can be! So therefore I know this goal of mine WILL happen for me and I will make most sure of it!

I run because...



I run because I can...

I run because I see myself at each step I take still in that hospital...

I run because I can see myself laying in that hospital bed with tubes in my chest and in my mouth breathing for me...

I run because I can still hear those voices telling me I will be the child being pushed around in that wheelchair the rest of my life...

I run because I can still remember not sleeping for weeks at a time and praying night after night for the strength to overcome that battle...

I run with true passion in my heart thats been given to me through a hard journey in my life I now appreciate so much...

I run simply because I know where I started in all this and it makes my mission worth it even more...

I run because I am a real survivor!
