26 miles to Life | Hamna Zubair | TEDxSZABIST

Hamna Zubair shares how her training for a marathon helped her heal from a personal loss. Hamna Zubair is a writer, editor and runner. She has worked in media and publishing for the last seven years, both in Pakistan and abroad, and is presently Culture Editor at Dawn.com. Last year Hamna took a break from her job to run the New York Marathon, a whopping 26 mile/42 kilometer race, for which she trained for eight months. Through her campaign #HamnaRunsForTCF she managed to crowd fund over $21,000 to fund a primary school in Karachi. For Hamna, the solitary, strenuous process of training for the marathon resembled her other vocation - writing - and revealed truths she'd like to share with you. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
