Inspirational documentaries are some of my favorite to watch. The last documentary I watched was A Fighting Chance featuring Kyle Maynard. I received an email about My Run and felt that Terry Hitchcock’s story is definitely one to be shared.

However, there are also times – hopefully this is the vast majority – when it’s hard to not be motivated. When everything you encounter, and everything in your life inspires you to be great: to be extraordinary.
