A Modern Day Forrest - What an Inspiration

So Maria sent me this article yesterday about a man with Crohn's Disease who ran over 3,700 miles from Seattle, WA to Key Largo, FL for 142 days straight.  He ran to raise awareness for Crohn's disease and gained some press and support along the way.  Steve Knowlton, the runner, was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in high school and lost even more weight than my brother did. 

It's amazing to read about his journey and his supporters and even more amazing to think that a man is capable of running 37 miles/day without a break.  He only raised about $5,000 during his run, but he said he did it to raise awareness for the disease. 

I hope this article inspires others to learn more about the disease and support finding a cure for it.  It's amazing to see people like Steve who are willing to sacrifice for a cause bigger than themselves.  Thank you, Maria, for sharing this story with me and thank you for supporting my brother through everything!
