Transcript
Started this whole running journey, you know, in memory of my mom who passed away from cancer. You no, I've never looked back ever since then, so I'm really, really proud of myself. I'm really happy to see all of you guys here. Thank you so much. Proud Proud of myself today because I rank for a fantastic organization, USA for UNHCR. But I'm also proud of myself because I have my fantastic fiance cheering tier with me wherever I go traveling around the world to do, marathons. So thank you to my fiance, Megan. I'm proud of myself because this was maybe the hardest thing I've ever done. I think it was my tenth marathon and my first sub three. I used to be about eight eight tier and drink a lot and smoke plenty a day, so my life's definitely changed around since running. Well, I'm, very proud. This is my seventeenth marathon. Good audience. I enjoyed. And, in March, I go to Tokyo. Arigorechi. Saochio.
