The CPS family is busting out their walking shoes and inviting all to embrace their athletic side with the Project Athena Foundation as they prep for their annual Adventure Trek. This year, CPS will be participating in Project Athena’s San Diego “Cove 2 Harbor Coastal Marathon” on August 21st – 22nd, hiking 26.2 miles down the breathtaking California coastline.
Here are the event details:
Where: La Jolla Cove, La Jolla
When: August 21-22, 2015
About: The adventure begins at the La Jolla Cove, winding through Mt. Soledad, Pacific Beach, Point Loma, and finally crossing the finish line at the San Diego Harbor. Joining for the trek will be the very Survivors, or “Athenas,” whose dreams the fundraising dollars will be supporting – as well as an experienced group of endurance athletes and CNN Heroes who have founded the Project Athena Foundation.

Project Athena is a non-profit, 501c3, foundation that encourages women who have endured life-altering medical setbacks to live an adventurous dream and complete a journey of a lifetime. Project Athena provides the means, inspiration, and training to its “Athenas” so they can make the life-affirming transition from Survivor to Athlete.
“Project Athena is all about showing other Survivors the way to the ‘ladders’ and helping them inspire and amaze themselves on that climb back up,” said Project Athena’s Founder, Robyn Benincasa. “Doctors cure the body…Project Athena cures the spirit.”
This event is open to the public, so start spreading the word today. Help an Athena make her dreams a reality while participating in a fun, memorable – and even a little sweaty – adventure.
