TheFinalSprint.com (TFS) is honored to present our monthly Success Story award to individuals who have overcome tremendous obstacles, changed their own lives and/or the lives of others through running, sports or fitness.
I am proud to announce that TFS’s October 2007 Success Story, and my guest on Episode 105 of The Final Sprint Podcast is TIM BORLAND.
On November 4th, Borland finished his 63rd marathon in 63 straight days, a feat never before accomplished. Called the A-T Cure Tour, Borland set out to accomplish this arduous task in order to raise awareness for the A-T Children’s project, a non-profit organization that raises funds to support and coordinate first-rate biomedical research projects, scientific workshops, and a clinical center aimed at finding a 
cure or life-improving therapies for ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), a rare, fatal genetic disease that affects children.
Download the podcast to hear Tim discuss his sixty-three-day, cross-country marathon adventure, the challenges he faced along the way, his efforts to fight this horrible disease, his future ultra-running goals and much more!

Congratulations to Paula Radcliffe, the world marathon record-holder, and her husband Gary Lough on the birth of their first child. Paula gave birth to a healthy, baby girl this morning in Monaco on the French Riviera.
Talk about being born with speed genes! With the world’s fastest female marathon runner for a mother and a father who has ran the 1500m in 3:34 - this child certainly would seem to have a future running career somewhere in her genetic makeup!
The Final Sprint and I would like to express our sincere congratulations to Paula and Gary.
