My Run: 75 marathons in 75 days!

11,073 views

After tragically losing his wife to breast cancer and struggling to raise three young children on his own, Terry Hitchcock seized on an idea. He wanted to accomplish the impossible: run 75 consecutive marathons in 75 consecutive days to bring attention to the incredibly difficult lives of single-parent families.

Terry's run was an act of service in a field of interest: push yourself in a subject of your interest for the benefit of others (even teaching someone math counts!)

This is the best documentary I've seen all year. It's an amazing story.

I heard this amazing story a couple of months ago and as a single parent and an executive of a single parent organization, I am amazed at Terry's committment to doing the impossible. I am sure this is the strength that helped him as a single parent. Go Terry! Thank you so much for what you are doing for single parent families! Go!

Hey Bill Weil, thanks for the question...

ANSWER: The run by Terry was done 12 years after his wife Sue died of breast canncer.

At that time, his youngest child was 17 and part of the on the road support team with his two older children.

Thanks for the question. Tim

GO TERRY! Love to see films that use athletics as a way to inspire or get a story out to those that can benefit from the message. Keep moving forward!

I think you want to answer the question any thinking person would have, which is, who was watching the three motherless children while you were out running for 75 days?
