Name: Rebecca Hooper

Age: 28

Running History: This is my first marathon!

How She’s Training: I’m “practicing” falling asleep while running. They say it can be done. It feels something like deep meditation…..or maybe that’s medication? Yoga and cycling keeps things moving on off days.

GRS Connection: I’m a staffer in the US office.

Message: Your support will get me across the finish line on Nov 1! Better yet, it will have a huge impact in Africa for children who need effective education to turn the tide on HIV. Every $25 gives a child the knowledge, life skills and support to live free of HIV and AIDS. I’m going to think of each and every one of you for inspiration during training and throughout the race!
