As a lifelong runner, she thought the event sounded\nfun. She had been volunteering with a local health advocacy group, Fox Valley\nFaith and Health Network. At the next monthly meeting, Cynthia presented the\nidea to the group and shared her vision of forming a team made up of\nindividuals from the Western Suburbs and beyond like Bolingbrook and Maywood. She\ninvited them to join and represent the Aurora and greater Fox Valley community.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cynthia\u2019s vision also extended to friends who are not\naffiliated with a church. \u201cI have a lot of friends that are outside the church.\nWe do other things outside the church.\u201d She wanted to get them more involved in\ntheir communities and take ownership of their health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A realtor by day, Cynthia utilized her network of friends,\nfamily, volunteer and church groups to grow one of the all-time top coalition\nteams in Gospel Run history. \u00a0Cynthia\ndrew in so many participants, the Gospel Run organization expanded its Teams\nprogram to account for this new \u00a0category\nof \u201cCoalition and Community Teams.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, Cynthia\u2019s running days were ended by knee and\nankle injuries, but her physical setbacks have not slowed Cynthia down. \u00a0She has attended every Gospel Run and is still\nworking tirelessly to lead and organize new Gospel Run teams in various\ncommunities.\u00a0 At this year\u2019s race,\nCynthia\u2019s 28-year-old son, Christian, came all the way from Tampa to help her\nmotivate the team. Inspired, he now wants to form his own Tampa team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although she can no longer run herself, her impact as a\nGospel Run organizer continues to grow.\u00a0\n\u201cI love to serve.\u00a0 [In spite of my\ninjuries], it was important to me to keep the original vision God gave me to\nbuild a team of leaders that would influence those in their churches,\ncommunities, families, and friends to live healthier lives.\u00a0 I\u2019m excited to see our team members who now\nwant to influence others to do the same.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cynthia embodies service. A true leader, she\u2019s modest about\ndiscussing her impact on the community. \u201cI don\u2019t like being in the front, I\nlike working behind the scenes.\u201d We see you Cynthia and we are so grateful to\nhave you!<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Gospel Run Chicago Activated One Aurora Woman\u2019s Service to Others Aurora resident Cynthia Dyce first learned of Gospel Run Chicago via social media.
