First of all, I compliment each and every runner for their strength and determination for running the Marathon! Good job all of u, and the kind volunteers. As a spectator & a father of a 21 year old special needs son, I am really dissapointed that u could not POST A PICTURE OF TWO GUYS PUSHING THEIR SPECIAL NEEDS PERSONS . I don’t know their relationship, WHAT A LOVING UNSELFISH TASK, TO INCLUDE THEIR LOVED ONES WITH DISABILITIES!!! 26 miles of pushing their loved ones, it’s hard enough to drag your own but on a marathon. I have pulled my son in a 13 mile marathon, he weighs 220 pounds, there is no way I could of done 26. To me the two guys who pushed their special needs loved ones are the true IRONMAN, Winners to me. Disappointed when they had a ABLE, ROCK AND WHEEL THEME at 6:45 am the morning of. I did push my son in his wheelchair, the 2 miles , and we then were spectators awaiting my sister to complete her Marathon! Lets not hide those who went out of their way to include their special needs loved ones, maybe one day others will realize, the challenge they go through! As we watched the Marathon, one of the fellows acknowledged my special needs son and I as we stood cheering on the corner of bluff and snow canyon parkway. Good job everyone, and especially the two pushing their loved ones 26 miles!!!
Joyce ,
I read your story before hand and the pictures were great, Excellent ! I hope everyone reads it to. Special story for extra special people.
Thank you Joyce!
That medal picture looks a lot like the picture from the Kokepelli photograph. No originality
Oh, my gosh, you pesimist! That’s all you could say after all this? It’s a fantastic day for athletes and their families as is for photographers.
No photos of MattMan? LAME.
Hoo doggy. Them towels felt good!
