New Training for Women's Half Marathon
- Posted on Jun 25, 2010
Are you planning on walking or running in this fall's inaugural Women's Half Marathon? Join the YMCA for a 12 week training program and make it a better half! Your local Y will provide support, education, encouragement, accountability and lots of fun.
By participating in these groups, you will also be helping the Y to provide hope and healing by supporting Restore Ministries, a life-changing ministry of the YMCA.
Leading New Lives
Several years ago, Heather began a Downtown YMCA
membership set up through her employer, LifeWay. "Once I made the decision to start getting healthy and change my life, the Y was where I began," she says.
Today, she's 126 pounds lighter and 100 percent happier.
Paula became a charter member of the North Rutherford YMCA-Ronald Reagan Family Center in 2005 while recovering from surgery and battling high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and borderline diabetes. She has lost 65 pounds and improved her overall health. A kindergarten teacher, Paula says, "Now I'm a lot better at keeping up with all of my energetic 5-year olds."
After Jason personally experienced the hope of Restore, a life-changing ministry of the YMCA, he was inspired him to become a Journey to Freedom class facilitator-and then some. He chaired the 2007 We Build People campaign, was named volunteer of the year, and is now serving as 2008 Board Chair.
Scott founded Restore eight years ago after his own life turnaround. While working at the Green Hills Family YMCA, he became aware of the need for a ministry that would go beyond physical needs to offer spiritual, emotional and relational hope. In 2007, Restore continued to expand throughout Middle Tennessee and nationwide.
