Are you doubting a documented factual event that occurred with thousands of witnesses?

He did stop to eat and get IVs last time and this time. I don't believe there was any extended rest periods beyond that.

The wheelchair this time came after 100 miles due to stress fractures (allegedly) in his feet. I don't think he is the type to stop unless he had to/was forced to.

Either way, the support financially and even physically with pushing the chair shows a lot of success.

That's cool... It's my wife's 1st cousin. If y'all remember the guy that was hit at the LSU/Bama game by a hit and run driver a couple years ago,that is Brads younger brother.

I think its a medical or spiritual miracle his brother is still alive. Lots of surgeries to save him.

It was dark when they posted the 145 mile mark. Must be getting close.

And regarding his brother, I am not really one to believe in miracles, but the morning after the prayer service was the turning point in his recovery. It renewed my dwindling faith in the power of prayer (not to derail this thread or take absolutely anything away from the medical professionals involved).

A wounded marine just flew in to finish the run with him. It was someone brad helped in the marine's time of need. Brad got out if the wheel chair and running/walking with the guy on his fractured ankles.
