Running was the lifesaver for the Marathon Goddess aka Julie Weiss. Before she decided to start running, this young mother was overweight, on anti-depressants and simply going through dark times she thought she wouldn’t get out of. She embraced the Goddess in herself and wants to help others find their inner God or Goddess too by sharing her story. Julie lost her father to pancreatic cancer and in her mission to help others avoid the same fate she ran 52 marathons in 52 weeks to raise $1 million. “Find your passion, bring out your spirit and let it shine.” Whatever your passion may be, embracing it will change your life and the lives of others. This woman shows that our capacity lies way beyond where we believe our limits are… thanks for showing us!!!
