Global Marathon Project

LET’S RUN TOGETHER!

Yes, let’s run together the Standard Chartered Marathon in Singapore under Stella’s Mum Global Marathon Project. The Global Marathon Project will be launched at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon on the 7th of December 2008. The aim of this project is to raise funds to support scholarships for selected non-profit organizations in Singapore and worldwide. These organizations focus on building awareness and education in youth and adults at risk.

By running together for this first Marathon Project, you will support Stella’s Mum Dream and Education Fund aiming to build a global community able to create awareness and education around the topics of emotional health, abuse and neglect.

Starting in 2009, we are planning to organize and motivate teams of runners to participate in International Marathon Events globally under the banner of “Stella’s Mum – Transforming Lives One Km At A Time”.

Join Us! United We Can Run For A Cause.

If you have signed up for the 10 km, 21 km or 42km on the 7th of December 2008 in Singapore, and you want to support this project, send us an e-mail at info@stellasmumglobalmarathon.com and we will get back to you with more details on finding people to sponsor you.

			good luck and much love jo Jo, this is called ACTION! How wonderful and generous you are! Thank-you and Love. Elisabetta Live to ur dream! You will always be my inspiration. Njoy urself. Cheers! Luv Ya, Jessica Jessica, thank-you so much for your trust and for considering me an inspiration. I am inspired by all my students in my workshops or clients in my coaching sessions and I think this is what we should allow us to be all the time: being inspired by people out there, so that we can keep on running towards our dreams! Love. E Keep dreaming and believing as you run next Sunday. Looking forward to cheering you over the finish line:-). With much love, Lucy Lucy, you are such a joy! So beautiful to have you around as a committed, generous and loyal friend. I keep on dreaming of seeing you winning a full marathon by the time you turn 40! I believe in YOU!U can make it happen! U are wonderful! Tks for your trust and love. E All the best, Elisabetta. I will try to gather friends & family to support this Project. Love, Kendy Koh Kendy, you are simply a wonderful girl, so persistent, proactive and committed! It makes me feel so motivated to know that you are working hard to help us! Love. E Enjoy the run & keep running the marathon of your life. You're an inspiration! Irene Irene, tks so much for your trust in me. It means a lot indeed! Love. E Hello gorgeous Have a great run, I know you will! Hugs Karen:) Karen, tks so much for your trust and generous heart! U are an angel! Great work Elisabetta. Have a good run - not only on the marathon but also in life. Lots of Love Barbara Thank-you,Barabara! You have a great heart and you are a great motivator! It will be such a joy, for so many people, when you cross that finish line. Thank-you! Whoever you are! U didn't leave your name at the end of your noteback to me and... I am not sure who is the sponsor of this $50, but I learnt how to receive and accept also without knowing the details! Sending to you my love! 74 il mio anno di nascita... 74 usd per portare tanta nascita di awarness!!! In bocca al lupo!!! Lucia Tks Lucia, thank-you so much! I will run thinking of your enthusiasm and love for life! E Ruuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Thank-you, my love! Lucy Lyon who edited Stella’s Mum Gets Her Groove Back, inspired me with her ‘commitment’ and ‘determination’ ! Through her love of running she made me see the part of me that for many years I neglected and denied: my body and my passion for running and becoming an athlete even at my age... 45! Stella, my daughter, also inspired me with her ’will power‘ and ’faith‘ and taught me that a dream is always possible... at any age! My husband Leonardo's calmness and focus has taught me how to be persistent and loyal to myself even in times of true darkness. This is my 3rd Marathon and my dream is to compete in 2 marathons every year until I am 60 years old and in doing so to raise money to help others gain ’awareness‘ and ’education‘ around the topic of emotional health. Working full time and training intensively will be a real challenge, I know, but I know that if I really want to, I can do it! I can choose to ’transform‘ instead of ’conforming‘ to what my mind, society and people may say! Through participating in this Singapore event, I’d love to raise money to support parents and young adults at risk who, for different reasons, face great challenges in being able to believe in themselves and their talents and struggle in attaining the self-confidence needed to nurture and make a dream come true. Scholarships through any of the above charities will give someone in need this opportunity. Please sponsor me to make these scholarships a reality and therefore transform people and enhance lives.

Never dreamed that I’d managed myself but here I am, embarking on my first marathon in less than 3 weeks and what better motivation than to run for this worthy cause. It’ll be such an achievement for me crossing the finish line but the real winners will be all the individuals whose lives we can help change and make better with your support.

All the best and see you at the finish line. Thanks sis for your motivation and inspiration. I’ve taken up running since June last year to prepare for the Singapore Half Marathon 2007. Since then I’ve enjoyed running and had participated in a number of races especially those that are organised for charity purposes. I’ll be participating in this year’s Singapore Full Marathon and I’m glad that I can run for a cause under the banner of Stella’s Mum Global Marathon Project. I believe that all of us who are fortunate and happy to be what we are today should play a part in helping the less fortunate who has gone through emotional abuse and neglect. Your contributions no matter how small will give them hope of creating positive change and be happy in life.

			When Elisabetta told me about her project, I registered to the Marathon without hesitation although it is my first experience!!! I am 43 and I have always practiced sport in my life but never been engaged in sport so intensely as this 2008; I started in May practicing Triathlon believing in the importance of enhancing my quality of life creating challenges that make me a better woman, wife and mother; as the Romans’ motto "mens sana in corpore sano" (a sound mind in a sound body). My commitment in the marathon is a positive example for my daughters inspiring them with healthy principles and values. Not to mention the meaning of being part of a project that has an immense purpose: developing interest in people with different needs. I want to thank my girls and my husband for the support and understanding they showed me and Elisabetta for her energy and determination in organising this group and its initiatives. What is little for us, it’s a lot for others….we can make a difference!!! Let’s make it together.

			This is my third marathon. I have completed my first full marathon in New Delhi 2006 and half marathon in Singapore 2004. I am running half marathon again this time. I never thought of running for a cause, but Elisabetta has inspired me to run not only for me, but for a good cause. When I get tired, I will be motivated to take another step knowing I have others I am running for. I am inspired !

			Enjoy your run and all the best! Hi Thank you so much ! As Emil Zatopek once said, "If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience another life, run a marathon". It inspires me to run a marathon year after year. Now I can taste a fulfilled life to run for a worthy cause in StandChart Singapore Marathon 2008. Running for a charity is truly a humbling experience which reminds me of doing my bit to make the life journey bearable for the needy people.
