There's nothing too big

One week from tomorrow I will get my first opportunity to guide a good friend of mine, David Kuhn, in his first triathlon. Since meeting David there's one message that's rang through loud and clear to me, there's nothing too big. His actions support this mantra as he spent 2/3's of the month of May running...a marathon a day. David decided to begin his journey raising awareness and money for Cystic Fibrosis, a disease that his granddaughter battles. I've been chronically his journey on Facebook by sharing his updates and passing along his stories from the road. Now as he rests from his running to attend a triathlon camp and then race his first triathlon next weekend (a half iron distance) all before taking off again to continue his journey running around America, I wanted to take the time to ask for your support of his cause. According to David's last blog post on Day 11 of his run, he had logged just under 239 miles and raised about $1,300. I haven't seen updated numbers after 19 days of running and fundraising but that would put his miles at about double, around 500. David has been inspiring others and finding inspiration in those that have joined him. Each day of David's run has inspired me to continue to think that there's nothing too big. If a blind man can run 500 miles in 19 days and if total strangers can reach out to David and offer him lodging and a warm meal to help, then why can't I ask those that know me to help out as well? Your help may not be monetary, it may be sharing this blog on Facebook or Twitter, it may be posting a comment of encouragement for your friends to see, your help can be done in many ways that aren't just writing a check or entering your credit card numbers.

Every day there are miracles if you look close enough and if you believe that a difference can be made. These last 20 days David's run has been a miracle of mine that I've believed in and followed. I've believed that once he started his run that people would notice and people would help, now I'm trying to help that miracle. Please consider helping as David prepares for his first ever tethered open water swim this weekend, as he and I prepare to race together for 70.3 miles of swimming, biking and running, and please consider helping because there's a blind man running 11,000 miles because he wants to help create a miracle for his granddaughter.
