This phrase keeps me motivated everyday.

I have the health and the physical ability to run. Some people are too ill, which crosses my mind every year when I run Race for Hope. My heart hurts when I see people with knee braces like a guy yesterday who was struggling to walk – I wonder if it was the result of long term sports injuries/not being good to his knees over the years.

Then I think of my friend Tim who is was paralyzed from the chest down a few years ago in a car accident and he has been FIGHTING to walk again. Yesterday he posted this picture of him in an exoskeleton suit. This man is pure determination and hard work.
