I am 43 years old. 3 years ago, one day in the morining, when I went out of my bed, I found my heels got painful. However, I did not care about it. I added an additional soft material sole to my shoes. Then I had worked with pain.

Every Sunday morning, I enjoyed breakfast with my mother. She told me a story that she met her old friend. He was walking toward to my mother with painful face. He told my mother, I was suffering from diabetes... The story took my breath. I thought, her friend would be myself in a near future! I could not tell her I had painful heels. After finishing breakfast, I decided to go to a sports club.

As I enjoyed exercises in a sports club, my weight was losing from 107kg to 75kg for 1 year. Thanks to my diet, I recovered from the pain, furthermore I could finish a full marathon, 42.195km running in Osaka 2015. I was very satisfied with myself.

I found that fitness makes me changed. Increasing body strength gives me possitive mind. I never feel tired during daytime. I am very happy. Strengthening my body expresses my appreciation for being born as human being. So, I have been challenging a long distance trail running.

I completed, Kirishima / Ebino Kogen Extreme Trail 2016 (64.8km / 2725m+) and Ultra-Trail® Australia 2017(100km / 4400m+). Next challenge is Ultra-Trail® Chiangrai 2017(121.9km / 5210m+ / Cut-off time 40hours) on October 21th, 2107.

I would like to encourage people to do something new. So, I posted my project on JustGiving.com. However, honesly say, I have not donated paper money, only coin. I have no idea which social welfare association will be suitable for the collected money. So, I will chose the Red Cross Society in Japan. It is the largest social welfare association of Japan. I assure you all collected donation will be transferred to Red Cross Society in Japan.
