Pam, please add me to the list of people who considered Todd
their best friend. My life, like many others, has been
changed forever, and my memories of Todd will last a
lifetime. What a wonderful testimony he leaves behind. You,
the family he loved so dearly, and the friends he made
everywhere he went.
— Rick & Cindy Petitt

Just after the water station at mile 16 and near the
Charlotte Panthers’ Ericsson Stadium. I’ve
just returned from my two-mile detour to the site of Todd’s
accident, so I’m on mile 18. You can’t see it from this picture, but my
shirt reads
“www.Run4Todd.com”, the site set up to collect donations for the support
of Todd’s children, Brady and Elizabeth. We raised nearly
$800 through the site.

Almost done! I wave to Brady just before the finish line. Instead
of simply waving back, he runs with me through the finish line. Samuel
ran with me the final half mile, after having run five
miles with me in the middle of the race, including the visit
to the accident site.

Samuel, me, and Brady after 28 miles and nearly five hours of
running. Brady wears the Thunder Road Marathon finisher’s
medal.

Brady and I with members of Todd’s cycling club, the
Rank Riders: Tom, Mark, Jon, and Greg. These guys were just
fantastic, accompanying me for more than half of the run.
They escorted me down Tryon Street when I left the
confines of the marked course to run to the accident site, provided
a helpful distraction riding along side of me when I started
to sag, and showed up at various points on the course to
offer an ecouraging cheer. Thanks, guys!
