Sawasdee!
(this means hello in Thai)
Life changing.
It's been the theme of my past 16 months.
From doctoral work to parenthood to training for the NYC marathon, most everything I've been involved in of late has been life changing.
It is said, "we are never the same for having seen the moon on the other side of the world." I took an exciting trip to Thailand this summer & had the fortuitous opportunity to go to Thai cooking school.
I loved it! And I'd like to use my burgeoning culinary skills to change the lives of children in New York City.
In training for the NYC marathon, I must raise $2620 for Team for Kids so I can get to the finish line. TFK establishes running programs in underserved schools that lack Phys Ed classes with the goal of fighting childhood obesity.
Thus, you are cordially invited to join me in changing the lives of school kids across the five boroughs.
