“Running has taken me on adventures great and small, at home and around the world. It has provided me with hope and perseverance on days when I had none-and even, once every great while, warmed me with that fleeting ray of sunshine known as glory.

In this way, I have been inspired to attempt things I would have never dreamed possible. And it all started with a single step.”
