In 2008, Roger set out on a quest to lose weight, get
healthy and eventually run in the Boston Marathon. But not just for himself,
for his niece who was born with Cystic Fibrosis. His goal was to raise
awareness for Cystic Fibrosis, along with raising money for research into the
treatment and cure of this heartbreaking disease. This video highlights his
incredible journey at age 47, from obesity to accomplished marathon runner.
Roger is a humble man, and continues to run marathons to
this day to raise money for CF research. He works tirelessly to spread the
message that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to do. On November
6, 2011 Roger ran the New York City Marathon. It was his 12th marathon in the
2.5 years since he ran the 2009 Boston Marathon.
