The Running Backs

I AM A RUNNING BACK

I am one of a group of people who are running the LA Marathon in March 2011 to support our inspirational Michelle in her journey to improve her scoliosis by raising money towards her medical expenses.

To learn more about Michelle's journey, visit http://www.backfactor.blogspot.com/

We are also raising money to begin a scholarship fund for a young person to receive treatment from The Clear Institute in St Cloud, Minnesota, a revolutionary wholistic center that uses non-surgical chiropractic-based treatment to improve the lives of those living with scoliosis. To learn more about The Clear Institute, visit http://www.clear-institute.org/

To follow my journey to the finish line and to follow Michelle's journey to a healthier back, please follow this blog.

Thanks for the support, Rebel

It's a 'Blog - Off!'

Michelle and I have both been having so much fun with our blogs, with designing them, updating them and recording our journeys.

The more we share what we are up to, the more we find out about and connect with friends, family and colleagues around us. It has been great to share about this project, our lives and what we're up to and to support other people in our lives in what's important to them.

So many people I know are taking on big projects at the moment including three fellow runners:

My friend Tina ran a half-marathon last Sunday to raise money for research in to Non-Hodgkin's Follicular Lymphoma. Tina is amazing and has run a bunch of Marathons and has taken Danielle and I under her wing as we embark on our first. To read more about Tina's cause, click here http://www.discoveringforlife.com/.

Our friend Patty has taken on the project of raising money for Michelle's treatment and is chronicling her own journey to the finish line on http://www.gijanebootcamp.blogspot.com/ . I am so incredibly touched by Patty's friendship and commitment to Michelle's health and the support that she always shows to both of us. Patty is a strong, powerful, graceful and sexy woman who is a total inspiration and a very dear friend. Thanks so much Patty and Happy Birthday for today!

Mo, our friend/sister/neighbor/puppy nanny has also announced her own Marathon project where she is raising money for Michelle's treatment and Soccer Outreach LA on http://www.run2presence.blogspot.com/. Mo is always looking for ways to contribute and make a difference and this project is really inspiring as it uses Soccer and Sports to create social programs for young people.

Michelle has also updated her blog with pics of her in her scoliosis traction chair and with an X-Ray of her back when in traction - this X-Ray of her back is the goal that she is working towards. Michelle's blog is http://www.backfactor.blogspot.com/

Patty, Mo and Michelle's blogs can all be accessed from this page and I encourage you to to follow them also.

So there you have it - lots of blogging going on, lots of amazing stories and powerful women taking on big projects.

I couldn't feel more love or more supported than I do right now. Thanks ladies and let the 'Blog Off' continue!
