Brad and Austin Swaback
Arlington Heights, IL
Fundraising Goal: $5,000.00 | Total Raised: $7,230.00
PAIN is WEAKNESS leaving the body!
Mitch would remind me of that often. For a few years now I have struggled
with sore knees and lower back pain, enough pain to keep me away from
running. So when this event was announced I told my brother I would be there
but not as a runner. Being a very strong runner in school, I simply didn't
want to run it unless I could run it hard. After a little more encouragement
from Bob and a little smack talk from my son Austin, I have decided to go
all in. Over the next few months I will begin to train on my own and along
side of Austin as he trains for his cross-country season in the fall.
Austin will join me in running this race and has already told me that he
will not allow me to beat him. That statement along with Mitch's encouraging
words are all I need to get me through this!

There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.Mother Teresa
