The Corazon de Vida Foundation has again been selected to be an official charity for the ASICS LA MARATHON held on Sunday March 9, 2014. We need 40 marathoners who are committed to our cause and raise $1000 to sustain life in Baja orphanages. ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE? 
 
We will have marathon training programs in Los Angeles and Orange County to help prepare you to run 26.2 miles. Each TEAM CDV member will have a photo of a child they are raising funds for pinned to their jersey and a cheering section at the orphanage encouraging them every step of the way.
