Braink you very much, but I gotta run!

Recap: In February 2012 I had my first brain surgery. There was a complication during the surgery and left me unable to walk/balance. I was in intense physical therapy in the hospital for 2 weeks, followed by intense home care therapy for a month until I was stable enough on my walker to graduate to out patient physical therapy. 

On the first day of out patient physical therapy, my therapist was performing basic tests on me to see my ability to do basic standing and balancing. She asked me and my mom what are goals were for physical therapy (expecting "being off a walker and on a cane some of the time" to be a goal.) my mom said her goal for me was that I should walk down my college graduation aisle unassisted. My goal was that I should complete/run in a 5k race. Both goals seemed so far fetched and unrealistic....

Well, my mom got her wish. 

Now it's my turn. 

On September 8th, 2013-- 35 days from now-- I will be running in The Color Run 5K. 

I want to have a team of people who have supported me until now, support me on the day of the race. I am opening the invite to all of my friends and family to join me in the race. You don't have to be in shape to participate. As their website says, "you can walk, run, crawl, or cartwheel to the finish." 

I am very excited to announce that I am cleared from all of my doctors and I am finally physically able to complete my goal. 

If you would like to join my team, please let me know BY THE END OF THE WEEK please! I have to make a team reservation and everyone needs to pay for their personal reservation ASAP. 

A few things to note: 

•The race is in Brooklyn, NY at 9 am on a Sunday morning. 

•The race is on September 8th-- which is tzom gedaliah this year. 

• The race is raising money for the children's cancer foundation. 

Lastly, I need a team name. Because it's the color run, many team names have to do with colors and rainbows type of things. People who are running for a cause usually incorporate their cause in the name. Keeping these two in mind, I complied a list of potential names with a few friends. If you would like to participate please give me your input on our team name (in no specific order): 

Is brain a color?

If we only had a brain 

Colors of the brainbows 

Feel the brainbow, taste the rainbow. 

Proving a point. 

Cerebellum felon 

Brain-iacs 

Walker-less runners 

Color me brain. 

Brain like the wind 

Somewhere over the brainbow. 

The running brainbow

You tell me it's not possible. 

Please call, text, message or email me if you would like to join my team and give me your input on the name!! 

Thank you all for your continued support I could never be here without you!
