 14 Marathons in 13 Weeks
Running a marathon can be a life-changing experience. For Hideki Kinoshita, it is also about saving lives.
Hideki, a 30-year-old engineering consultant from New Jersey, is all too familiar with pancreatic cancer. “My Uncle died of pancreatic cancer and when my girlfriend’s mother died of the same disease just months after being diagnosed, I felt I needed to do something,” Hideki said. “This is my way of making a difference.” Hideki decided to use his passion for running to raise awareness and support for the disease in an extraordinary way. In November 2009, he completed his goal of running an amazing 14 marathons in 13 weeks. His efforts have raised over $10,000 to date, and his story, covered by several newspapers, has raised much awareness about the disease.
Whether it’s your first marathon, or your fourteenth, join the fight and train for a cause that will motivate you every step of the 26.2 miles.
