Conquering the Great Wall one running shoe at a time...

So I have this incredibly awesome friend Connie who just so happened to be one of my roommates in Taiwan. And when I say awesome, I mean awesome. You should meet her. Then you'd understand.

Anyways, Connie and her older sisters have this tradition of running a marathon by the time they are 25. All of her sisters have done it, so now its her turn. And this is where I become incredibly jealous...

She's running a marathon on the
GREAT WALL OF CHINA.
Yeah. You heard me...the Great Wall. Not only is she doing it despite some minor setbacks, she's doing it for a charity!

Check out her website here, to follow her progress and to donate to an excellent cause!

Three cheers for Connie who's making a difference in the world, and who has become one of my heroes!
