Karen Jewels, a devoted mother, found herself lacing up her running shoes for a cause close to her heart - her son, Kadin. When Kadin was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, Karen decided to turn her son's dream of running into a reality. 'I started to run because Kadin wasn't able to,' shared Karen, reflecting on her son's struggles and determination. With each step she took, Karen carried not only her own determination but also her son's unwavering spirit.

As Karen pounded the pavement, she felt a deep connection to her son's strength and resilience. The sound of her feet echoed Kadin's courage, inspiring her to push through the challenges of each mile. Running became more than just a physical activity; it became a symbol of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity.

Karen's story is a testament to the power of a mother's love and the resilience of the human spirit. In every stride, she carries not just herself but also her son's dreams, turning them into tangible victories on the track. With every race, Karen continues to inspire others to run not just for themselves but for those who can't. Her journey is a reminder that love knows no bounds and that running can be a powerful symbol of hope and healing.
