🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥📣📣📣. My @JacobsLadder_A team and I have had the most amazing time over the last couple of months as we geared up for today. We did it!! We all ran 21Km and ran 10KM races with amazing personal finish times. The greatest take away is that when people come together in one accord there’s nothing they cannot do. This is the spirit we carry in everything we do as JLA- pushing the boundaries, moving as one reach, challenging ourselves to reach deeper and go further. Well done team- super proud of you all @chela_karrency @Mandakhabetsa @Bilha_Ndirangu #StanChart #Marathon
