Why He Hung Shoes Around His Neck 👟

He hung a pair of tiny children's shoes around his neck right before the start of the marathon.You see, when he told his son he would run a race, the boy got so excited.But just months later, he passed away from a rare cancer before ever getting the chance to see him run.

So he ran with his son's shoes around his neck for over 26 miles.And when he crossed the finish line, he revealed the message on his shirt that read, my son died before I could run this marathon.Today, he finishes it with me.
