He really did inspire we through the marathon. From about Mile 19-24, I had my little laminated card clutched in my (sweaty) hand and I just kept thinking of him.
What an amazing guy. If I can have 0.1% of the resolve and determination he has for making the world a better place, I’d be thrilled.

AS IF, that’s incredible! To me, he’s like a superhero so the idea of one of my friends having actually *seen* him boggles my mind.

I keep having people ask me about who do I most admire, and I am always at a loss. There are/have been so many amazing people that have added so much to this world. But honestly, for every year that I can remember this man has inspired me and so many people to just remember that one person really can make a difference. Thanks for the post Bibi! xx And thanks for the difference you have made to all the people you raised funds for! x

We used to go on family holidays and drive from coast to coast. I can’t remember where or when but we definitely saw him. What a wonderful man.

My #Mile20Hero would be my grandmother, who after fighting cancer for 14 years, with several years of remission, finally lost her fight back in 2006.

I hope you had an awesome race this morning!

I kept having to stop typing because I was crying, too! His story is just incredible, I hope I can be 0.1% of the runner he was.

Good luck with the marathon- I hope his story gives you the strength you’ll need in those last few miles, and just remember- it will end! X
