Synopsis

What would you do if your soulmate died, you lost your job, and you found yourself with your three young children depending on you alone? For most, it would be a struggle to survive, let alone "keep it together." Even putting one foot forward every day would become an epic act of bravery. One man defied these very circumstances, and managed to do much more than just survive in the years following his wife's death.Terry Hitchcock, age 57 at the time, ran 75 consecutive marathons in 75 consecutive days. He travelled over 2,000 miles to bring awareness to the financial and emotional hardships faced by single parents and their children - everyday heroes who run quiet, yet extraordinary, daily marathons.Terry Hitchcock proved that impossible is only a word.A Father's Odyssey: 75 Marathons in 75 Consecutive Days will inspire you to remember that achieving what you are called to do is always possible.A documentary following Terry's experience, My Run: A Story of Five Million Footsteps (The Terry Hitchcock Story) narrated by Academy Award winner Billy Bob Thornton, was completed in June 2009.
