Book Cover & Preview Text
But… he had more important things to think about. He really needed those shoes. Couldn’t run the race without them. He had used all his allowance to pay for them. Rules of the race said you had to buy those Nike’s to enter the marathon. The shoes were sort of a fundraising fee that went to the bombing victims. His Mom helped him with the rest of the expenses – numbered vest, and his Dad’s name on the memorial booklet. That’s why he was running this race. For his Dad. In honor of his Dad.
