Journal Wednesday, November 5, 2008 7:15 PM CST - Percy Cerutty Well, the marathon was Sunday and—I DID IT! And it was AMAZING. It was one of the hardest, most rewarding, and best experiences I have ever had. We (Jeff and I) finished in 5 hours and 34 minutes, which was fine with me, as a first time marathoner and runner. I raised just under $12,000.00 which in itself was fantastic. But the real reward was in looking at the faces of my family, my friends, other cancer parents, current pediatric patients and Harrison’s nurses and doctors as I ran past the doors of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, at mile 17. It was a feeling I cannot put into words. I knew Harrison was there; I felt him every step of the way. I cannot thank you all enough for the encouragement and support. Thank you to my family for being there, to Jeff for having the heart and patience to stay with me the whole race, to Linda for jumping-in at the last 13 miles for encouragement, to Leah for waiting at mile 25 and to my precious Harrison for the inspiration and the strength from the start to the finish. You are my role model—the warrior I am proud to fight alongside and the hero who keeps me going. This is for you my love, my Harrison. With gratitude, Gina Next year’s goal: 5 hours and 15,000.00!
