About Me
- Patricia García de Mejía
- La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico
- I'm an ESL and Visual Arts teacher, a translator, a writer and a lover of peace, truth, life and beauty. I have been fighting and overcoming different chronic illnesses since 1999 when I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor. Words like Cushing's, hypothyroidism then Hashimoto's, metabolic syndrome and recently generalized postictal epilepsy ,pineal calcification and cortical atrophy have been very real to me.......I have won many battles and have lost a few but I do plan to finish the marathon of life in triumph and helping others, I expect to reach the finish line that´s been already traced for me by God's finger. Philippians 3:13-14 Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

In Memoriam
"Luis Motte Sanchez finished La Paz marathon 2008 running with a leg protesis, he lost his leg due to diabetes, when I asked him what was the force behind his victory.... he answered something quite simple yet so powerful!
Love. The love of my wife, children and grandchildren!"

1° Maratón de Vida 2013 La Paz B.C.S. Mexico
As I shared with one of my very best friends
I´m taking a little break in the misdst of the organization of our 1° Maratón de Vida 2013. What was started as a symbolic walk and marathon celebrating of our first year as a registered non- profit organization has turned out to be a BIG important event in La Paz with the help of wonderful people.
God´s perfect timing has everything flowing our way.
The initial dream, the struggles, the obstacles and the search of whom I really wanted to be in life: young Pat from the past, whose life was hindered if not castrated in some ways.... who wanted to recover what she had lost; It all led to become Patricia the lady who has faced storms and devastation and has anchored herself in faith staying firm and secure .... having much to share about it.
After having decided to let go of what was lost and gone forever... I pressed forward to what God has designed for me and I marvel in amazement to the development of circumstances in favor to reach the goal.
There´s a very special movement in La Paz, runners, clubs, institutions, businesses, Mexican Olympic Athletes, doctors, etc. All helping and supporting this proyect and cause to help patients suffering of chronic renal insufficiency.
I´m so happy, lots of adrenaline entusiasm and energy.
