Hi everyone!
My name is Patricia Pilar Koch Conesa and I’m a Masters student from Germany with Spanish roots, currently studying abroad at Cal Poly Pomona. Running has always been a big part of my life, so when I arrived in the U.S., I immediately joined the Bronco Running Club, where I was welcomed with open arms!
Running a marathon has always been a dream of mine, but I never thought I’d actually take the leap - until now. The Hoag OC Marathon will be my first ever marathon, and I couldn’t be more excited! But I don’t just want to run for myself - I want to run for a purpose. That’s why I’m fundraising for WisePlace, an incredible organization that provides housing, support, and resources for unaccompanied women experiencing homelessness.
Every woman deserves a safe place to call home, and WisePlace is making that a reality. Your donation - big or small - will help provide shelter, meals, job training, and much-needed support to women working toward a fresh start.
Please consider contributing to this cause and making a difference.
Thank you for being part of my journey - both on and off the racecourse!
