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.
