MEET THE RUNNERS

Heather Balderach

This will be my first year running the Austin 10/20 race on the Running Without Regrets team.  It is a privilege to be able to run with the hope of raising money to help families wishing for one last memory together.  The Without Regrets is a non-profit foundation to help families with a gravely ill parent and minor children make the most of their time left together.  Any dollar you donate will make a difference to these families.  If you aren’t in a position to donate, I ask you to please pray for these families.  Make every minute and every memory matter!

​This will be my first year running the Austin 10/20 race April 9, 2017 on the RUNNING WITHOUT REGRETS team. I moved to Austin at the beginning of the year and am looking forward to running my first race here and thankful to have the opportunity to help support this wonderful foundation in the process. 
As a mother of two young children the mission of Without Regrets is close to my heart. The Without Regrets Foundation provides gravely ill parents and their minor children with memorable family experiences. This special time together creates memories that will last forever. 
I hope you will support me in running the Austin 10/20 to raise money for this worthy cause. Thank you!

I am very excited and honored to be running and fundraising for this fantastic local charity. Without Regrets is a non-profit, volunteered-run organization that assists families with a terminally ill parent create lasting memories together. I have seen first hand the wonderful memories they have helped create when Without Regrets recently sent some dear family friends on the trip of a lifetime. This was a magical experience for the family and for all of us surrounding them with love in our community. Please consider donating to my fundraising page and know that 100% of your donation goes directly towards helping a family. Thank you!


Looking forward to the race and thank YOU ALL at Without Regrets again for the wonderful trip to Hawaii that you were able to make happen for the Martinez Family of Austin!!

As a parent to two young children, I can't imagine living with a serious illness that would make it difficult to focus on my family. Without Regrets strikes a chord with me because it gives parents facing this exact situation a precious gift: the opportunity to spend time with their families and remove the burden of their illness, even for just a short while. Without Regrets provides gravely ill parents and their minor children with memorable family experiences and memories that last a lifetime. That's why I'm running the Austin 10/20 race on April 3; My goal is to honor these families and to help raise funds for an often overlooked, but critical, need that provides some reprieve from the draining task of fighting a serious illness. Thank you for your donation--any amount is appreciated!

When I heard about the Running Without Regrets program several years ago, I immediately wanted to get involved. As the mother of two young children and an avid runner, I value the mission of the Without Regrets Foundation. The prospect of helping terminally ill parents create lasting memories for their children by doing something I love is truly powerful. I hope you will support me in running the Austin 10/20 to raise money for this worthy cause. Thank you!

I am so excited to be racing on the behalf of Without Regrets.  This is a wonderful organization that has helped so many families.  This year it hit close to home for us with our friend Marco.  He has Stage IV colon cancer and Without Regrets helped send Marco and his family to Hawaii.  It was a trip they will never forget and those of us able to witness it saw the happiness and joy it brought to the entire family.  I would greatly appreciate your support in any donations to allow Without Regrets to continue to help other families in need.  Thank you!

​Without Regrets Foundation provides gravely ill people with unforgettable family experiences. This special time together creates memories that will last forever.
Raising money for this charity gives me purpose to run the 10/20 Austin race, and serves as a goal. When you have a heart warming purpose, and you personally know and care for the people that this organization has helped, you are motivated to get up and go training in the cold, wet or sometimes hot humid winter/spring months in Austin, Texas.
Running for a charity helps raise awareness about the Without Regrets Foundation and the great work they do. They rely on this kind of public exposure to build a good reputation and be able to do what they do best, helping our friends.
Please consider donating because 100% of your contribution goes directly towards helping a family. Thank you! Bea

I am honored to be part of the Without Regrets team.  The positive impact the Foundation has on families facing serious illness is deep and enduring. Running the Austin 10/20 for more than just myself has helped me make new friends and make a difference in many people's lives


Martin Garza

​I've been a supporter of the Without Regrets Foundation almost since its onset.  I knew the founders and believed in their cause.  My bother and I lost our mom as teenagers.  It would have been nice to have an organization like this to provide a precious experience before her passing.  Thus, I'm running in the Austin 10/20 for the second time in the hopes of raising money for the organization.  I'd appreciate your support by cheering for me, praying for me, or donating.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello and thank you for visiting my fundraising page for Without Regrets! I am so excited to be running and fundraising for the 5th time for this amazing local charity.

Now that I am mother myself this organization is all the more important.

When a friend asked me to join the Running Without Regrets team, it immediately struck me as a perfect fit.  On November 9th, 2012 I lost my wife of nearly 20 years to cervical cancer.  At that time, our boys (Christopher and Sean) were 17 and 9 years old.  When we discovered that Kristin was terminal, one of our first thoughts was to take a trip back to Washington, DC.  This is where we met, spent our early marriage and created so many incredible memories.  We felt that it was important that our sons shared the memory of where we met and the joyful times we had spent in DC.  Fortunately, we were able to drop everything, buy tickets and go.  Before departing, I remember how hard it was to imagine that our spontaneous trip would ever carry positive memories.  However, it did and it does.  Now I think about what we would be missing if we did not take that trip.  Now I am in my 2nd year on the Running Without Regrets team and it brings me joy to raise money that will help other families build meaningful and lasting memories.  ​

Howdy!

My name is Kathryn Olson. I am currently a student at Texas A&M. I have been running for about six years along side my mother and just recently my younger sister. I have completed numerous half marathon and eight full marathons today. Running has always been something that I enjoyed doing.So anytime I get a chance to run for a great cause its even better.


Steve Wakefield

This will be my fifth year running the Austin 10/20 for Without Regrets and my third as the board president. It is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we have more family applications than ever. There is a lot to do in 2017!

We are working with five families right now -- one will travel to Disneyworld soon, one will travel to California for a Hollywood tour, and 3 are in the initial planning stages. All of the families are so excited about their experiences and so grateful to have the opportunity.

My goal this year is to raise $5,000 to support two family trips. Thanks for considering a donation... know that it is making an incredible difference in people's lives.


Rebecca Reid

Without Regrets holds a special place in my heart. In the past two years, I have lost both of my biological parents ... and I'm eternally grateful to have so many wonderful memories with them to look back on. And on the other side of the story, having recently become a mother myself, I know how precious this time is with him as a parent. 

So, in honor of my parents, my son (Dakota) and all the families out there who deserve to make lifelong memories together ... I am fundraising for Without Regrets as I prepare to run the ten mile course at the Austin 10/20. Thank you for your donation.
