Run for Brooks

Please join me on this journey and support Brooks Mission by purchasing a Tee or Sweatshirt.  I will be running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours May 5-7th.  

Crossfit Rapture will be hosting a leg May 5th at 4pm in Brightwaters. 

Ronin Athletic Academy will be hosting a leg May 6th at 8am in Lindenhurst.  

Our friend Emma's Footprints will be sharing this journey online as well.  

Please post something on social media to share our story and bring awareness to SIDS and infant loss by tagging @nottherealbgriffin (Brooks Dad) or @BrooksMission.  

Why I run:  

After the loss of our son, I told my wife that we had to move forward just the tiniest bit every single day.  I didn't care if it was an inch or a foot.  Some days, we had to define success by acknowledging that we found the strength to wake up and get out of bed.  This 48 mile journey is my way of sharing this story and mentality with others.  I run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours.  When you don't think you can go further, you find the strength and move one foot in front of the other.  When you're tired, you set your alarm and you get up and you go.  Find a purpose and you'll find your strength.  

Last year, we raised over $5,000 dollars and unmeasurable amounts of awareness through online posts.  If you can't join me from a run from my house or come to one of our amazing friends who are hosting legs, I ask you to post a workout and share it online to bring awareness to SIDS, infant loss and Brooks Mission.  You can tag us @nottherealbgriffin or @BrooksMission.
