The Anna Lee Foundation

The Anna Lee Foundation - now in our 8th Year.

2011 Race Saturday Oct. 1 - 8 am!
Register for this year's Race here!

The Anna Lee Foundation was established to honor the memory of Anna Lee Janowitz who died in a traffic accident in August, 2002, when she was 17 years old.

Anna, who was called "Anna Banana" by her family and many friends, was passionate about life, and running was her greatest love.

The Foundation, and this web site, are dedicated to Anna Banana. Through her memory, we can provide opportunities for Western Colorado students who are attending college.

Please look through our web site, and if you have any questions, please contact us.

New! Colorado Mesa University will match your Anna Lee Foundation Scholarship if you attend Mesa State College.

Glory

In the fall, every weekend, for
3.1 miles, I ran and said this
quote from the Bible: "For I
consider that the sufferings at this present time are not worthy of the glory that shall be revealed within us." Running, to me, is a very valuable thing and overcoming the race by achieving
what I set out to do is what gives me Glory. Like the quote says, Glory shall be revealed within us. Even though I go through so much pain in a race, I know that when I cross the finish line, I will get a sense of Glory. I will feel accomplishment.
