The NY Road Runners, the founders of the NYC Marathon, sent an email out to the runners of the 2011 NYC Marathon asking a simple question: What motivates you to run? I initially replied in an email but then decided that it might make more sense in my case, to respond with a video as well. This is my response.
I will apologize in advance for the beginning video footage of me but I can now post it as it is now in my past. It is my sincere hope that others may see the condition that I was in and be inspired to change their own life. Even if you are not overweight, it is important that you always have goals in front of you and strive to make the world a better place for you and everyone else on this planet. :)
Thank you and for more information go to RFME.org.

I think this is a very good video to view becouse the message on it of any goal is impossible is a very good message for the persons who are studying what they want.
I believe that this video shows the goals of a person who never thought that he would achieve. His aims were lose weight, improve his physical state and pick up some money for a disease. He got his goals with the support of his family. If you has a clear aim, you'll achieve it.
What a fantastic video Carmina! It shows us that anything is possible as long as you believe in yourself, which thing is the most important to achieve our life goals. Besides, it says that you have to fight and fight up to the end without losing your willpower.

Roger is a good example for everyone.
It’s very important for him run in these Marathons, for lose weight and for her niece Julia.
Impossible is nothing!

Anything is possible if you work hard in your life.
It is a fantastic video!

In the video could realise that making a great effort, we can get whatever we want in this life. I admire the effort made to help his niece Júlia.

His main objectives were: to lose ueight, run a marathon as his father did in this past, and finally get money to help his nice who had a strange illness.

This video shows us how important are the effort and the willpower in the real life, and how someone grows up as a person by seeing himself able to do things which he wouldn't even think of doing them before.

It is important to always have some goals or guidelines to follow in order to become someone in the future. It is important to do things with a purpose, whether for interest or for motivations ... We must reflect on life and think for a few seconds that really fighting for something is important because nothing is impossible if you wish. Score your own goals and fight for it.

I think this video is fantastic. A man who suffered from obesity face this challenge is amazing. I personally think his reasons for the challenge are all important but undoubtedly the most important is to fight the illness of her niece. This video can help people with this illness and people with obesity. Roger can motive them to fight with her unhealthy life and he can encourage them to change. So I think this video teaches very good things, I’m delighted to see it.
In my view, this is a great video because is shown that with effort and one goal you can get goals and do things who you have never thought of doing, and that anything is possible if you try. The message also says that there are a lot of ways for to raise much money for investigations of diseases.
Determination: the act of coming to a decision of fixing or settling a purpose.
Determination is a very complex word in the dictionary with a very powerful meaning, but the question is, can anybody be determined just like Mr. Roger is? The answer for many of us probably is no. When I saw this video I was very touched by his main motive to lose all the weight and joining the 2011 New York City Marathon. He says that while he was on the run to accomplish this journey he learned more about life, more about himself and only a little bit about running, but his determination was stronger than anything else. All I can say about this video is that determination is the key to success; we can’t wait for things to happen without us putting effort, love and willpower to it! I feel very proud of this man, and I will try to be strong and determined just like he is.

From my point of view, this video shows that anything is possible if you believe in yourself. Also, it's very motivating to achieve your goals, don't worry about simple things, because life gets better.
Moreover, it tells that we must fight to get our dreams and, not at all, give up them.
This video reach the heart because now a days there are more people who states this disease and don’t try search a result, and also they get used to live with it; instead of this man proposed himself get over this disease because feeling bad himself, and their family encourage him. He gave it up, and takes up to running on the Marathon, and definitely more a less he lost pretty kilos.
In my opinion, I think that this man is learn us that We should fight for get an objectives of the life.
I also think that this video has thought about the goals in my life, for example, complete the studies.
I think this is a very good video, because it shows that if you have a good and sincerely motivation, anything it’s impossible, and this is one of my mottos.

I think this video is very interesting and what he does its a clear exemple that if you really want to do something for yourself, the only barrier is your mind. Easy like that.
I'm not surprised that his family is really proud of him.
I would be happy enough if I had done half way of his successful challenge.
As it was an advertisment... IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!!!

In my opinion it is a good video because it is motivaiting and dad is doing anything possible to win money for his daughter.
I think this man is an example to all lazy people around the globe who is always putting an excuse to not do any exercise.
He was resilient on his goals, he lost weight, he achieved the impossible, he is happier and a true role model.
And the fact that he helps a very sad cause (cystic fibrosis) just adds more value to his quest.
He is a very inspirating man.
In my opinion this video is very interesting because it talks about a man whose life is so difficult, but he will never surrender for his niece, who is ill.
In my opinion this video is so good, because Roger is an example for us. He is an example of overcoming. What he does is so hard for anyone, it needs a lot of willpower and support by friends and family.
For me, this video show how the people who have an objective and a big motivation can do everything he want. it's a big example of superation
I believe that this video is very interesting because you can see the way to achieve thimgs. The most important is your mind. it,s sure that there are a lot of difficult thimgs but there are not impossible.
The way I see it the video is an example for the society and for showing the fathers love's to his daugher.
This person is very courageous!Sometimes people can surprise when use to his strenghts for changing his life. This is a great example, do sport can help to be a better person.
In my opinion, this is a very interesting video becaus shows how a father can do an amazing thing for his niece, it's a very motivational video.

Also i think that this video learning that you are only one things that you need to achieve your goal: courage, and this implicated that you are willing to sacrifice,if you want to reach the desired goal.
