Gratitudes
The Marathon of Freedom would like to dedicate this page to everyone who has been a part of this Journey. Through the gifts of who you are, we all become free. Gratitude.

Supreme Creator,

you are forever among us,

within us, without us.

Thank you for the fascination.

These people have moved mountains for the Marathon of Freedom and their contributions have been considerable.  Without them, the Marathon of Freedom would not be possible. There are so many people and forms of support to list. Please forgive (and correct!) us if we have forgotten your name. Infinite blessings and many many many thanks!
