The Half Marathon Crew

So this is amazing!  The two men in this photograph are Matt, at left and Anthony at right.  They are good friends and both ran with the three women in the photograph, in the half-marathon.  That's because the women are "Guides" and run with the two men, because the men are blind!  It is interesting that sometimes the guides use a piece of fabric which they both hold one end of.  But for this race, the guides just run next to their runners, and talk to them about what is coming up.  The guide on the left hand side is Anginelle, and she had never met Matt before the race.  She had never been a guide before either but she signed up to volunteer which is a wonderful thing to do.  What a joyous photograph this is!  Look at the smiles on their faces!
