"I am soooo glad that you are doing something to change the world and enhancing its perspective of empowering women to do great things! I will be running the new Seattle, WA marathon the following week (my 35th in 25 states!).Tell your ladies that as, you work towards finishing a marathon, you complete one mile at a time like you do when you try to change the world's perception of diversity, one person at a time. So as you near the finish, know that you have changed so many things in our world just by finishing!!
You will all be in my prayers for good weather and that everyone finishes!" Bill (Linda B.'s friend)
