Heart Transplant Recipient Ran Marathon
An AGH (Allegheny General Hospital) Heart Transplant ran the Pittsburgh Marathon last Sunday. I thought about him today and I went back tonight and found his photograph. I took it just before Mile 20.
Absolutely incredible, isn’t it?
Wishing him all the best!
According to the article below from WTAE he had the transplant just 17 months ago

In front of the Bernie/Trump duplex, a taco ran by. I forgot to post it in the marathon gallery the other day but found it on my phone tonight. 
Pittsburgh Marathon Sparks Admiration
Today was the Pittsburgh Marathon. Admiration was abundant.
Anyone who sets out to run 26.2 miles deserves admiration. Here are a few highlights.
Laura and Charles were visiting from Columbus and Steve accompanied us down the hill to the 20 mile marker spot.
I started to photograph a couple of men is some crazy wedding gowns, which from a distance made me think they were togas.
As I photographed them, it turns out one was my good friend’s son. He recognized me first.
Tony told me they were wearing the costumes, running for a charity fundraiser Project R.U.N., (Reaching Underserved Neighborhoods) getting kids running shoes if they need them, providing nutrition education and transportation to the marathon and free registrations and “promotes healthy and active lifestyles”
I was filled with admiration. Nice job, men!
Running in costumes for charity fundraiser. This just in IT is not too late to donate to Project R.U.N. here is the linkDonate to Project R.U.N. until May 31
I can’t imagine running a marathon but in a full length wedding gown?
Okay Tony. We get the message. Six more miles to go!
