One of the seven runners featured in the film, Julie Weiss, is a veteran marathoner from Santa Monica, California. She began a quest at the Rome Marathon to run one marathon a week for a year to honor the memory of her father on an emotional journey to spread awareness and raise money for pancreatic cancer - the devastating disease that claimed his life. This quest earned her the title of "Marathon Goddess", a woman who is an inspiration and a force for change.
Julie Weiss and Lazarex Cancer Foundation have partnered through Lazarex's Team for Life. The funds she raises will go to the Maurice Weiss Pancreatic Cancer Fund at Lazarex and will be used to help pancreatic cancer patients participate in FDA clinical trials. Julie will be running with Team for Life in the Tinker Bell Half Marathon, Big Sur International Marathon, Kona Marathon Events, and the TCS New York City Marathon.
