Many have described a natural high that comes from running. I believe the runner's exhilaration stems not from winning a race, but from the opportunity to move from one place to another as fast as a person can. The speed of Christopher's pace will not qualify him for the Boston Marathon, but his joy from the run surely meets or exceeds that of the winner of any race. Indeed, Christopher's act of running is a manifestation of winning the race of life and overcoming the obstacles placed before him.
On Saturday, May 17, 2014, Christopher's grandma came for a visit, and she brought a walker used by Christopher's great grandma. Within seconds of standing up to the walker, Christopher experienced the runner's high, and was off. This was the first time that he had truly "run" on his own. After his run, he stopped by the park for a relaxing swing. We hope that you will feel of Christopher's joy for life and his ability to enjoy his to the fullest in this short clip, and perhaps gain increased motivation to keep your "perspectometer" positive, peaceful, and happy.
