Serendipity.
It's the perfect word to describe the fortuitous series of incidents that propelled Inma Zanoguera, a University of Toledo master's student and former basketball player, to begin a journey to find her roots and connect to a family history she only recently discovered.
Later this month, Zanoguera will travel to Africa, a continent she's never visited, to do something she's never done before — run a marathon.
The race won't be just a physical challenge for 24-year-old Zanoguera. It will be an emotional and spiritual one as well.
When she was three years old, Zanoguera and her two older siblings were adopted by a family in Mallorca, Spain.
