HE DID IT!!!

Dave, Bailey and Stacey all ran 13.1 miles and finished the race.

Race started at 6:15am with a mass of 4,ooo runners all crossing the starting line.

Dave started near the front with Bailey. Stacey ran with her friend and Dave and Bailey were able to stay together for the whole race.

They were even able to cross the finish together.

Dave said the race went well and that the only problem he had was a sore knee.

He ran with ORS in his camelback and once he finished his nurse changed his dressing and hooked him up to some IV hydration.

It was incredible to see Dave run the race just like all the other 3,999 runners. So many times people see a diagnosis of short gut with TPN added in the equation as a terrible life changing event. It is a life changing event, but with work and determination, TPN doesn’t have to hold you back.

The race is an organised half marathon that they hold all over the country. Each location picks a charity to raise money for. These 4000 runners raised over 1.5 million for The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America
