Not too long ago I watched a disabled 7 year old boy run a one mile race against 500 healthy children. His legs were crippled and he needed crutches to stand; let alone run. At first glance, I thought, “No way! I am a marathon runner and I couldn't run a mile with crutches. How is this little guy going to do this?” As the race progressed the rest of the healthy children ran faster and farther ahead of him. He was struggling to finish and falling far behind. Twenty minutes later, all the other children had finished their race and were receiving their "shinny finishing medals". Then suddenly, there was a roar!  The crowd, a thousand family spectators or more turned to watch the little boy hobbling down the track towards them. Twenty-two minutes later, here comes this little boy, crutches and all moving nonstop. His face was beaming with determination to finish. I couldn't believe it! The crowd stood up with tears in their eyes and went crazy with adulation! A huge ROAR filled the air with excitement as the crowd cheered him on. The little boy ran faster and faster as the cheers became louder and louder. Until everyone was hugging and crying, and jumping, and applauding, cheering and yelling with amazement as he crossed the finishing line. Here was this little boy without any help, no excuses, and crippled legs performing one of the greatest sport achievements I have ever witnessed. He was actually finishing the mile race he started with crippled legs, only his huge heart and his own intestinal fortitude to finish. It was INSPIRING!

I ran the London Marathon in 2013 and will run it again in 2015 when I raise 5,000 pounds. I am asking donations for a charity that  spends 100% on the Children none of your donations will go to admisntration costs. Please help by making a donation on this site. Thanks. I promised, I won't stop runnig marathons until I have raised that pledge.  Thank you for your support!
