I didn't want to pity myself, nor to be pitied, and I thought by organizing such a marathon, I'll be able to pay back to my community, build bridges with the outside world, and invite runners to come to Lebanon and run under the umbrella of peace.
No quería apenarme ni tampoco dar pena, por lo que pensé en organizar una maratón para retribuir a mi comunidad, construir puentes con el mundo exterior, e invitar a corredores a que vengan al Líbano para correr por el ideal de la paz.
