"When Sue died I said to God, how come not me? But I think I had a lot to learn, so that's why I'm still here." The inspiring documentary about Terry Hitchcock. A 56 year old who ran to bring awareness to the country about single parent families by running from Minneapolis to Atlanta after losing his wife, having numerous heart problems (ncluding a heart attack a few months before the run), high blood pressure, two fractured ankles and a fractured knee cap. Did I mention that that's the equivalent of running 75 marathons in 75 straight days...the record before this was 3. Told with present day interviews and footage of the run this is one of the most inspiring, uplifting and outstanding documentaries I have ever seen. If you watch this and you are not moved by the spirit of this man you have no soul. Overall, an absolute must see. I give it an A.Would I watch again? - I know a few people I would show this to for them to see, I would watch again with them to talk about it.*Also try - Christopher Reeve : Hope In Motion & Waiting For Superman

MY RUN is a testimony to the strength of the heart in all of us. Terry Hitchcock, like me, lost his wife to cancer and raised his children on his own, and then took to the streets to accomplish something extraordinary simply out of the desire to honor his wife and kids, and to create awareness for single parent families across the nation. His feat took resolve and courage, to say the least. And he did it all after retiring! Amazing.The film is inspiring on many levels. And as I watched with my boys, I couldn't keep from comparing my life with Terry's, and hoping that one day I can look back and say that I accomplished all that he has for his family and himself. I had the opportunity later to talk with Terry and the filmmakers, which was even better. There's so much heart in this film. See it when you can. It's well worth the money.

Terry Hitchcock's story is a story about a very sincere and good family man who despite doctors, friends, the media and everyone else in between telling him he couldn't do the run, Terry believed in himself and did the run for single parent families at all costs.It is a true story of trials and tribulations of Terrys personal and business life.Imagine running from Minneapolis to Atlanta...2,000 miles on foot. Terry tells the story of that journey and the cool people he met and things he saw along the way.Terry strikes me as a guy who doesn't just talk the talk... he walks the walk.. He says "Nothing is impossible" and proved it in his own life before telling others they can do the same.This is a heartfelt, emotional and truly inspirational clean and family friendly movie I will be buying it when the DVD comes out!

Recently a friend of mine gave me something he had written and challenged me "I dare you not to cry at the end." At the time I thought it was a bit of a silly and maybe just a tad presumptuous of a challenge. But I find myself, while thinking about this film, wanting to invoke the same challenge (goes to show me I guess). And the thing is not that this film is so sad or heartbreaking at the end that you can't help but weep. Quite the contrary. Though of course it has it's sad and really heartbreaking elements, for me "My Run" really turned out to be a story about hope, about human challenges, and about how we can really achieve almost the most impossible things just by making committing our minds and mostly our hearts to it. Maybe I weeped at the end because it put my daily excuses of why I can't do this or that to shame. Of course i am kidding. But, I did weep at the end, and most unexpectedly, and mostly because I had just seen one of the most touching stories I had seen in a long time about the resilience and strength of the human heart.So I don't mean to be lugubrious in my words. But the point I am trying to make, in case i haven't said it many times over :-), is that I loved this film. And if you ever get the chance to see it...do!!!(for confidentiality purposes and to protect the innocent, I won't stay weather I did cry at the end of my friends project :-)... Cheers
