In 2008, a man set out on a quest to lose weight, get healthy and eventually run in the Boston Marathon.
It was to raise awareness for his niece who was born with Cystic Fibrosis. He set his sights on raising money for research into the treatment and cure of this heartbreaking disease through participating in marathons.
Enjoy images from the incredible journey at age 47, from obesity to accomplished marathon runner.
This is the power of one uncle's love for his niece, and his unwavering belief that you can do ANYTHING!
