UPDATE: A pacer has been found. Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
Howdy! Figured I would try the Aggie Network...
Looking for anyone who might be able to pace a fellow tribe member from NP IND who is trying to BQ on November 4th at the Monumental Marathon in Indianapolis.
Please read from Jason Shaw, Co-Leader of NPIND:
"World Changing People! I have mentioned our involvement here with the Special Olympics of Central Indiana and one athlete in particular (Andrew) who is now a staple at EVERY NP workout. He is trying to Boston Qualify at this year's Monumental. He was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and has a bit of trouble keep track of where he is and directions. Physically, he is in peak condition....his last full marathon he ran by himself in 3hr 15min and got lost on the course. He already dominates the Special Olympic games and he wants to qualify for Boston as a normal 24 year old. He needs a 3hr time in Indy to qualify and the pacer that his father had lined up just dropped out. The race organizers are having trouble finding somebody who is willing to (and fast enough) to pace him. Obviously, race fees would be covered and we can handle all lodging and all that through the tribe. Unfortunately, there is nobody in the Indy tribe who is fast enough to do this. I ASSURE you, this would be one of the most rewarding things that someone can do. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated."
NP = November Project
