The human spirit was alive and well today. 35,000 human spirits and their families, alive and well. Between the jugglers, the fireman, and the banana suit, were the mothers with their dauthers, the daughters with their fathers. Those that run for those that they miss. Shirts that say, We love you mom. We won't forget. Those that run and strengthen their friendships.
In a sea of legs and running shoes, were the triumphs and the personal bests, and those just short of what they hoped for. Spirits that set goals and achieved them. By achieving those goals their spirits grow bigger. They lie down tonight and know they can. They can achieve. They can push their limits and their bodies past the point they thought was possible. So tonight they may limp and move a little slower but they smile knowing they set out, and they achieved. Together.

This is really beautifully written. It is perhaps criminal that it has not received any comments.
