Journey to the L.A. Marathon!

Emily is on week 14 of her training for the L.A. Marathon which will take place on March 17, 2013.  She is up to running 10 miles with her SOAR (Students Off and Running) team which is part of the Hart School District.   Her first 1/2 marathon is a little over a week away on January 13th!  It is very exciting to watch her train.   It is still hard to believe that a little over three years ago, Emily was in a wheelchair.  We never imagined that even with Deep Brain Stimulation, training for a marathon would ever be in her future.  We are so proud of her and the effort she puts into everything she does.   Here is a picture from the Calabasas 5K a couple of months ago.  Please join us as we continue to follow Emily's journey.
