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.
Es negribēju sevi žēlot, nedz lai arī mani žēlotu citi, un es domāju, ka tāda maratona rīkošana es varēšu atdarīt ar labu savai kopienai, palīdzēt uzcelt tiltus uz ārpasauli un uzaicināt skrējējus uz Libānu un vienoti skriet ar domu par mieru.
