Dear Harris;

Congrats on taking the challenge. You are an amazing inspiration to all runners. I did my firs marathon last weekend "Marine Corp Marathon in DC" and I can tell you that it will be one of the most amazing moments of your life.....the encouragement from others along your route will just amaze you and carry you through the most painful miles. I will never forget the words of strangers along the way. GOOD LUCK and CONGRATULATION!!! Donna Fontes, West Long Branch, NJ
