Running Inspiration

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012 by Lisa Duscio

The NYC Half Marathon is coming up on March 18.  (We still have a few bibs left if you would like to join us!)  As a race approaches, I often ponder how important the runners are to our organization.  The funds raised by our runners are critical to sustaining and growing the Inheritance of Hope Legacy Retreats.  These retreats are one of the main outreaches of IOH, reaching families across the nation with hope and support for their journey facing a life-threatening diagnosis.

I was privileged to participate in this February’s Disney Legacy Retreat that took place a couple weeks ago.  12 families attended – and lives were impacted and changed – in both families attending and volunteers serving.

I’ve been a member of the 2011 NYC Legacy Retreat Fans Group these past few days.  This group was set up in the IOH Community on the Inheritance of Hope website to follow the ‘latest’ as the Legacy Retreat unfolded.  Sixteen families from across the nation gathered in NYC to create family memories and build a community of support as they all had in common a parent diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.  As I watched the Retreat unfold since this past Sunday, I have had an overwhelming sense of thanksgiving…

I am enthusiastic about Inheritance of Hope!  My enthusiasm began when it was first founded and has continued as my involvement has grown.

When my best friend, Kristen Milligan, called me in 2003 to share her diagnosis of terminal liver cancer it was very difficult to see any good in that situation.  It quickly became clear that it was not only Kristen who was battling this illness but it was also her husband and three young children.  When they decided to start an organization that served families just like theirs, I was thrilled to be a part of it.  I did what I could to help.

I’m a Runner?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010 by Lisa Duscio

Today I’m happy to bring to you a post written by Heather Mosman.  I met Heather last January at the 2010 Disney Marathon Weekend.  It was such a joy getting to know her … and I’ll get to see her again in a few weeks in Chicago!  As Heather says, “Go Team IOH!!!” ~ Lisa

Last year I would not have called myself a “runner”.  In fact, I haven’t run for exercise (or pleasure) since college.  Even then, it wasn’t really my thing.  However, I have always been a person that can be inspired by a good cause.  That is what has made me into a runner….

26 for Families

Friday, August 20th, 2010 by Lisa Duscio

I found 26 cents on my 7.5 mile training run today.  (I always stop to pick up money while I’m running – and most of the time it’s a penny!)  I saw the quarter first and then about a 100 yards further, I saw the penny.  As I ran a bit further, with the quarter and penny between my thumb and middle finger, I thought about the 26 miles I’ll be running on October 10th for children and their families… Read the rest of this entry »
