Brian Greer raised over $2,655 for racing a local 5K in Madisonville.
He decided that racing a 5K would be the best way to raise money. After starting a fundraiser on Facebook, local businesses and friends helped him raise over $2,655 to help fund a new playground at Finley’s Grapevine Elementary School in Madisonville. Finley was unsurprisingly crowned “Princess.”Greer told WBKO that he mostly walked the 5K course due to his condition and thought of Finley when things got hard.
“I ran when I could. For the most part, when I would run I would catch myself out of breath pretty quickly,” Greer told WBKO. “So I had to just remind myself why I was doing it. Just slow down and catch my breath and walk until I felt like I could run some more.”Johanna Gretschel is a freelance writer and broadcaster living in Austin, Texas, who has covered elite track and field and running in all its forms.
