There’s a great article on Susan and Kristen Lafferty on Manila Bulletin today about their great adventure: the Artarctica Marathon.  I didn’t see it, but Jim, my co-founder for TBR Dream and Susan’s husband, informed me about it so I, at least, got to read it online.

Lots of inspiring things about this article:

1) They ran 42km in Antarctica! How many people get the chance to do that in their lifetime?

2) Mother and daughter ran it together (Aaaw, this is tugging at my mommy heartstrings. I wish TBR Jr. or Li’l Miss Bull Runner will beg me to do the same later in life.  Maybe, when they’re working already, they can treat ol’ Mom to a free trip to Paris or Big Sur Marathon.)

…and my favorite…

3) Americans Susan and Kristen wore shirts that bore the Philippine flag.  Susan explained: “We are Filipinas. This is where our home is.”

Please take the time out to watch this special video showing the 22-week journey our TBR Dream Marathoners have gone through. We met them for the first time in October 2011 to walk for 45 minutes in Bonifacio High Street. In our last Bull Session in NUVALI last February, majority had run the farthest ever in their lives hitting 3 1/2 hours.

Nine days from now, on March 18, 2012, they will run 42.195 km. After they cross that finish line, their lives will never be the same.

Ripple100 is a media and technology company that develops transmedia experiences for high-affinity communities, or tribes. They build networks of online and offline places, activities and events where people can meet members of the tribe, get to know who’s who, discover evolving community narratives, vibe and culture, including an authentic, organic way to interact with brands, products and services who act as tribal allies, not as intrusive advertisers. Ripple100’s mantra is “Stories, Movements. Not Ads”.

When we said party, we meant parteeeeh! With only 10 days to go until TBR Dream Marathon at NUVALI, we threw a huge TBR Send Off Party for this year’s batch at the Unilab Bayanihan Halls in the Unilab Compound at Kapitolyo last night.

– TBR DM Batch 2012! –

– Full house! –

– with Zeny and Lester of Unilab Active Health and hosts Boy Ramos and Tessa Valdes. Thank you to our Presenter and my partner Unilab Active Health for your full support! –

Hosts Boy Ramos, a TBR Dream participant, and Tessa Prieto-Valdes had us all in stitches as they led us through the program for the evening. TBR Dream Team members Jim Lafferty, Neville Manaois, Lit Onrubia, and myself gave our addresses to the runners, we threw a huge raffle giving away over 90 prizes (uhm Tessa literally threw some of the prizes at the audience!), played a couple of games, watched a special video from Ripple 100, and ended the night with a batch picture!

– TBR Dream Team: Jun Cruz, Neville Manaois, Janice Villanueva (Creative Juice), Macel Janeo, Jim Lafferty, and Lit Onrubia –

– That’s me and TBR DM runners, Mico Halili and the rest of Team RunToms. I’m starstruck. –

– with Team Mambu rower/runners. Go girls! –

For our TBR Dream Runners, we hope you enjoyed the evening. The best is yet to come…in 9 days to be exact.

Dream Big. Run Strong.

More pictures to be posted once I get my hands on them!
