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. —Producer

Don't Miss This One!

Just caught this film at the 2009 Austin Film Festival for it's World Premiere. Audience gave a standing ovation to the filmmakers as well as Terry Hitchcock who was in attendance. Catch MY RUN when it comes to a theater near you - this is a wonderful uplifting film that will touch the heart and soul of anyone that sees it! This film has multiple messages throughout. One is that if someone operates out of faith and not fear, they will persevere - no exception, they will manifest the dream and success and do it as Terry Hitchcock so courageously did - one step at a time!! It will inspire and delight all and leave you feeling filled with hope and promise for better days ahead! You will be thinking about this documentary long after you leave the theater.
