Inspired By A Marathon-Running Doctor and I Can’t Keep Up!

Jose RunningIt’s amazing where inspiration comes from, everyday it comes from somewhere different. I’ve been doing some web design for a client who is a doctor here in town. He has become a good friend of ours and most recently a big inspiration. The web site re-design that I’ve been working on for him has been for his efforts in raising funds for neurofibromotosis (or NF for short). He is running marathons and his lifetime fundraising goal is 1 million dollars. Wow! 1 million dollars and running marathons!? Now that is a passion! But then again, I’m the type that only runs when someone is chasing me. So the running a marathon part is just a simple inspiration to begin with.

I’ve always admired his passion for raising money for something that affects him so closely. A couple of weeks ago, we did the walk for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), and things went really well. It has once again inspired me to be more healthy and to raise money for this cause.

So with all that said, my source of inspiration this evening has come from 3 little words.  One Million Dollars.  Doc, I wish you the best and I know you’re getting closer to that goal every day.  Thank you for being someone to look up to and emulate.
