Kathleen Beavers, mother of two, wrote: "I'm not comfortable in a bathing suit but everything is in my head. After my birth I was exhausted and unmotivated, my two friends encouraged me and started running a half marathon and it encouraged me. I can be a strong mother and I want to set an example for a daughter Mine, that she can love herself in any situation. "
