Noah Dennison's Mississauga Marathon

Of all the incredible and amazing stories that come from a Marathon, here is another one from Mississauga Marathon 2010.
Noah Dennison was diagnosed with Autism last year at 8 years old.Even though this presents some balance and co-ordination issues, he is still a runner like his Barrie Roadrunner parents Bruce and Karen Dennison. Noah completed his 4th race in 2 years in Mississauga by following a 6 week training program that totalled his running distance to 40k. Then, he completed the 42.2k distance with a 2k run and crossed the same finish line as his Mom had earlier. Noah ran with his Dad who when asked him if he wanted to stop at the water station he said "no time for water" and kept going.He was so happy to tell Karen he had run the whole way without stopping. Noah recieved a medal and a 42k certificate.
His other races are The Disney 400m, The 1K cub run, and 2.87K Molson Indy Lap.
You can see by the picture how great Noah feels, and Karen and Bruce are so proud of his new found self confidence and achievement. Way to go Noah! We'll have to see if Bill can hook you up with a Barrie Roadrunner Shirt.
