Storyline

After tragically losing his wife to breast cancer and struggling to raise three young children on his own, real life super hero and modern day Forrest Gump, 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. He ran in spite of freezing rain and unbearable heat, in spite of chest pains and bone fractures that wracked his 57-year-old body. He just kept running - each day, every day - strengthening an unbreakable bond between father and son--- not stopping until he broke the finish line tape in Atlanta. MY RUN is more than a film about a guy running multiple marathons; it's a film about the daily marathons we all run in life. Written by Producer

You Gotta Believe!
28 October 2009 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

A friend invited me to see this film at the Austin film festival a few days ago and I'm so glad he did. First off, I was lucky to get a seat as the theater was full. What a great and uplifting film - this is the real deal! This film delivered clear and powerful messages about family, faith, friends, goals and love.

The story moved forward combining interviews, and footage from Terry Hitchcock's run to the Olympics in 1996.

This is a documentary for all who believe that people can make a difference in the lives of others - I hope this film gets out to the market place keep an eye out for this one!
