Run Chicago Marathon for WISE

As the President and Founder of The Women's Institute of Self Development and Efficacy, I am excited to be running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on 10.7.2018. I am dedicating this run for all women that are part of WISE and its mission! Our goal is to enhance women's lives nationwide with specialized tools and techniques such as coaching, training, prayer, talks, support groups, and workshops. At WISE, we believe that when a woman focuses on their own needs and desires first, it will allow them to be more effective at home and in the workforce. 

The funding will help grow the organization massively. I am looking to invest more money into different marketing tools such as website, books, training manuals, videos etc., as well as, establish this as a business/not-for-profit entity. 

We have grown so much in less than a year and now we are ready for the next level. Our women have seen positive changes in their marriages, careers, families, and most importantly themselves.  
 
Check out some quotes from women who have joined WISE and have had first hand seen the benefits of being part of our organization.

Gema- "I want to be around more like-minded women. I want to be surrounded by mature minds that are willing to be uplifted and uplift. I want to be around love, that’s what I get from this group. I feel a sense of peace around this group- I love this feeling. I want to learn how to become a better woman and encourage other women."

Amell- "Working towards one's goals and self-development takes a village just like raising children. I enjoy sharing things that work for me and learning from other women. The group definitely pushes me out of my comfort zone with the things we learn from Jennifer Sanchez."

Rubi-"I want to continue to be a part of other women who in my eyes have their house in order. I love learning and being inspired by people I admire. I have deep admiration for everyone I've met in the group and look forward to continuing our journey in Gods love, grace, and mercy. "

Will you join me in helping women become empowered? 

(Why am I using the #FATGIRLSRUN hashtag? because I believe that your weight should not be a hindrance to completing any activity. I want to be an example for so many women who hold themselves back because of weight. If I can do it, anyone can.  I started my marathon training at 225 lbs (the heaviest I have ever been and pre-diabetic). Now I can say I am down 25 lbs and have lost 1% body fat since. I also am back to normal vital signs. Expecting to be under 190 lbs by Oct 7th! 

 We will still accept donations but shirts are no longer available!
