Miguel's big day is here !!!!
A month ago he told me that he will run the *Terry Fox Run 10K this year, the last time we joined this charity event was 4 years ago when Miguel and I walked the 10K Terry Fox Run in Bali (it was a tough one, the first 2K was on the beach !!).
He was committed and start going to the gym 3 times a week, this morning we met up with some friends there, 7 AM on the dot the run started, off they all go wih smile in their faces. Maureen & I went to the 5K point with the car, got there in time to see Carlos (first) & Miguel,pretty much 20 mins after they went off from the Start line, impressive !
Then we went back to Finish line, waiting for them to arrive, Carlo hit the finish line first (45 mins, cool isn't it) then Miguel followed 15 minutes later. He's in pain (his right knee hurting him a lot) but in a very good spirit, HE MADE IT !!!
PS.
*Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox, CC (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian humanitarian, athlete, and cancer treatment activist. He became famous for the Marathon of Hope, a cross-Canada run to raise money for cancer research, running with one prosthetic leg. He is considered one of Canada's greatest heroes of the 20th century and is celebrated internationally every September as people participate in the Terry Fox Run, the world's largest one-day fund raiser for cancer research.
