Rosalia is fundraising for Special Olympics Asia Pacific Ltd.
I'm running TWO half marathons to raise money for The Special Olympics. Please consider a donation!
My Story
This time last year, I was lying in a bed for 100 days. I never thought I'd be able to walk again let alone run. But then I chanced upon the inspiring message of Special Olympics athlete and Ambassador Chris Nikic, the first person with Down's Syndrome to become an Ironman. I learned that all I had to do was be 1% better than yesterday and eventually strength would follow. So, once I got out of bed, I took my first step, then two more, then 20. Now, a year later, I'm about to run two half marathons-- that's 60,000 steps!! Things aren't like they used to be: I'm a lot slower and more prone to injury. But I never gave up and that's because Chris and millions like him around the world do not. So, if you've ever thought of giving up or giving in, please consider a donation to support the amazing talents of those who don't. #SpecialOlympicsStrong
