The award-winning and critically-acclaimed documentary MY RUN premieres one night only on March 31st! Tickets are on sale now at www.fathomevents.com/myrun.

Marathon running is more than just physical endurance. It's mental fortitude. It's an indomitable spirit. And it's an analogy for life. Every day is a marathon in one way or another. Life's journey has uphills and downhills. Whether it's dealing with work demands, managing school stress, fighting a disease - we're conquering fears.

Terry Hitchcock took his life story to the road. After breast cancer took his wife, he used running to spread awareness for single parents struggling to stay afloat. It didn't matter to him that at 57 years old, he had never been a runner. He spent a year and a half training before embarking on a seemingly impossible goal: 75 marathons in 75 days.

InkTip magazine calls him "The Real-Life Forrest Gump." He just kept running despite numbing cold, blistering heat, bone fractures, and chest pains. His camera crew dwindled until it was comprised of just his son, Chris Hitchcock. Together, the two soldiered on, "strengthening an unbreakable bond between father and son - not stopping until he broke the finish line tape."

Academy Award Winner, Billy Bob Thornton, narrates Terry's inspirational story. "This powerful and uplifting documentary exemplifies a commitment to something greater than yourself and achieving something deemed impossible," writes the Indie Movie Examiner. It encourages us to take up a cause, and "be somebody's hero."
