english: 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.
non_english: Nisam htela da sažaljevam sebe ili da to drugi čine i mislila sam da organizacijom takvog maratona, mogu da se odužim zajednici, da gradim mostove sa spoljnim svetom i da pozovem trkače u Liban da trče pod kišobranom mira.
