Peter Runs with Melvyn!


Peter Bissell’s is running the Marine Corps Marathon for his father-in-law, Melvyn Attfield, who will be running the race right alongside him!  Fundraising for the first time and running 26.2 miles sometimes seems intimidating, but when Peter thinks of Melvyn and the obstacles he continues to face- and overcome- he realizes he can achieve his goals. "If [Melvyn] can face this disease head on, while dealing with lots of hospital visits, various testing, and experimental treatments that fatigue him, and STILL run marathon after marathon, then surely I can step up and do this,” Peter said. The marathon is one challenge the two friends will face and conquer together, as they continue to inspire strength in one another.
