I wanted to write to tell you about my TNT inspiration. I am running in honor of Walter Lind. Walter is my fiance's father, and he is truly an amazing person.
He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March. It has not been an easy battle so far, but he has been an inspiration to his family and friends through it all. Dave, my finance, participated in a TNT triathlon in April.
Dave found out a few weeks before the triathlon about his dad's diagnosisand dedicated his race to his father. So now I am doing the same.
When I am not feeling motivated to run in the morning, I think of Walter and the pain he is in and it helps me get out of bed. When I want to stop running because I am tired or my feet hurt or it is hot (like during our 16 mile run), I think of Walter and remember why I am running in the first place.
Pancreatic cancer is a horrible disease and there is no known cure for it. But Walter and the entire Lind family (nicknamed Team Lind by their friends) are taking it one day at a time and are enjoying their time together.
