After conquering my biggest hurdle, the New York City Marathon in November 2014, I return to Central Park one year later to relive an emotional finish to the 26.2 mile (42 kilometre journey).

Marathon 5 of 12 was completed on May 5th 2014 in Milton Keynes by Bexx and Mark Throughout 2014, Bexx will take on 12 marathons in 12 months in a bid to raise £25,000 for Cancer Research UK and Breast Cancer Care Subscribe to follow our journey! or follow: Twitter.com/team_run12 facebook.com/teamrun12 www.teamrun12.co.uk click here to donate: uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/teamrun12

When I was a kid, my dad used to take me and my older brother and sister to a quiet, rolling, long stretch of road less travelled, free of traffic, on the outskirts of town where he would time each of us running for about a quarter mile, which was an exceptionally long distance for me at such a tender, young age.

But I liked it. I liked that indoctrination to the sport, that introduction to the concept of pounding the pavement one step at a time, running as fast as I could go for as long as I could last. I liked it enough to keep at it for years, to keep pushing my body to its furthermost limits until that one fateful day that it would no longer cooperate, until my tired, old legs would be forced to succumb to the wear and the tear.

Fortunately, I have not reached the finish line of my running career yet. That day has not arrived. In fact, having recently entered my sixth decade of life, I'm happy to say that I'm still running 5Ks, 10Ks, marathons and mountains. I'm still running for time.

Yes, ever since a father taught his children how to run like the wind, one of them has run some 15,000 miles and is still going strong. And today, I'm able to satisfy my desire to help boys and girls those who may have a long, hard road ahead of them on their way to a cure for cancer by running the Boston Marathon as a member of the MassGeneral Marathon Team Fighting Kids' Cancer...One Step at a Time.

Please help me help kids with cancer. Please go to http://www.firstgiving.com/bobcargill and give whatever you can afford, even if it is just a dollar. Ill appreciate it. But the kids Im running for will appreciate it even more. Thanks.

We did this video for Intermountain Healthcare to highlight and promote this event, geared toward raising money for cancer research in our community.

On June 18th, 2004, Steve Gilbert was diagnosed in the early stage of aggressive prostate cancer. Later that year he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. This video shares part of his story to health through a truly Monumental experience at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. The story Steve shares is one of hope and fulfillment that followed his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Five years ago he wandered into the Rock Steady Boxing gym and began a training program for people with Parkinson's that would change his life. As a result of this training he is in the best physical (and spiritual) condition of his life. In the process, he learned that many personal limits are self-imposed and only serve as an excuse not to push farther. Steve found the joy of discovering and appreciating the talents and blessings that God has given him, and of using those gifts as a way of honoring them.

The Dance Marathon raised over $1.5 million dollars for the Children's Hospital. The University of Iowa Dance Marathon is a student organization that provides year-round support to youth cancer victims and their families. The Big Event is a 24-hour Dance Marathon where students assemble to celebrate the children survivors and remember the children who have passed away throughout the year. Students plan and participate in Family Events and Mini-Dance Marathons. Additionally, they participate in other University of Iowa sponsored and affiliated activities and events, the majority of which are all philanthropic. The primary goal of these activities is to raise additional money for children with cancer and to educate the community about the struggles and triumphs of these little warriors.
