When Dianne Reed heard these words on January 21st, it wasn’t to run away from terrorists as she did in 2004. This time, Dianne ran in the Dubai Marathon, completing 26 grueling miles, despite the eight reconstructive surgeries to her leg. Dianne sent a message to FAWCO friends “.. I can't believe we finished!! It was a great feeling and I don't think I could have done it without Jen or Leah. They were amazing and didn't let me slack off or quit!! “ Here are the three of them just after they crossed the finish line. FAWCO friends are so proud of Dianne. Congratulations!!! Dianne lives in Abu Dhabi, and has recently joined FAUSA because there is no AWC in Abu Dhabi. She’ll be in Boston in March for our Boston Conference.
