Located in Houston, Texas, Bel Inizio helps disadvantaged women develop self-confidence and life skills through fitness and nutrition. Participants train to complete a 5K, which helps prepare them for the ultimate race — the race for a better life.
Houston has a generous giving community and great compassion for those in need. We have emergency shelters, transitional housing, and half-way houses. The agencies offer case workers, recovery programs, and job skills training. What gets lost, and is critically needed, is helping individuals achieve the self esteem and confidence that can come from an ongoing exercise and nutrition program.
On March 2, 2014 I will be running the Sugar Land Half Marathon for Dawnielle and all our Bel Inizio athletes. As I write we have 50 women in training and each of them is working very hard to keep the commitment they made to start training and then finish a 5K.
Dawnielle has had a rough life. So have many of our clients. They have addictions, were criminal offenders, experienced domestic violence, and as a result have little to no faith in themselves. However, after completing Bel Inizio most feel significantly better about themselves and are ready to move forward! Dawnielle is succeeding in her race for a better life. Here is her story:

Bel Inizio is my Reason2Race. Your support would mean so much to me and the women Bel Inizio serves.
Thank you so much.
