The miles and trials of marathon goddess: 52 Weeks, 52 Marathons
In 2012-13, Julie—a/k/a, the Marathon Goddess—ran 52 marathons in 52 weeks. Along the way she was featured in a major documentary film, Spirit of the Marathon II, appeared on national television and attracted a passionate social media following, as she logged the miles of each of her 52 marathons in honor of individuals lost to or fighting pancreatic cancer, ultimately raising over a half million dollars for the cause. It’s a story of resilience, perseverance, endurance—and romance: Julie’s turbulent early life; the rekindling of a father’s love extinguished too soon; her epic year traveling to far-flung races and places; not to mention her relationship with coach David Levine. After a rocky road, their underlying love emerged, culminating with a finish line marriage proposal. It all adds up to make “The Miles and Trials of a Marathon Goddess” a riveting, humorous, poignant and ultimately uplifting book, for runners and non-runners alike.Now Available on amazon

A NOTE FROM JULIE:
Thank you so much for visiting marathongoddess.com. Running 52 marathons in 52 weeks to raise money and awareness to stop pancreatic cancer was an incredible journey. But we’re not done yet! Pancreatic cancer still needs to be stopped. After losing my father, just 35 days after diagnosis, I made it my mission to do everything I can, to end this disease. Raising awareness for pancreatic cancer, fundraising, motivational speaking, running marathons to inspire, educate and spread hope, are all a part of it. With passion, purpose and your incredible will, you too can achieve the impossible. That includes finding a cure for pancreatic cancer. Keep the hope alive! We Got This! xo Julie
