A significant part of this story is that Celina managed to finish that marathon. She almost died that day, but committed to God during the race, saying: “Deus, if you help me finish this marathon, I’m going to stop smoking”. This was a life-changing experience for Celina as she finally crossed the finish line for the first time in her life., ushering in a new life of incredible and exciting adventures.
