It is a heartwarming event and anyone could easily participate and enjoy it.
The aim is for the event to be a fun and enjoyable one. There is no time limit and a 10km distance is also available.
This makes it easy for even beginners to run to participate, and people with disabilities can also participate.
In this article, we will introduce the life of Nami Kishida, who lives with her mother who is in a wheelchair due to illness, and her intellectually disabled brother.
We bring you the story of her and her family as they take on the Honolulu Marathon.
For now, go as far as you can.
Walk, walk.
Push and walk.
Stop and get wet.
I just kept walking. Just one step forward.
Move forward just a little bit until you can't move any more.
I passed many people who had finished the race hours before me, with medals hanging around their necks.
They cheered me on, telling me to do my best.
I was truly saved by its light and refreshing taste.
Before I knew it, all the fear and embarrassment had disappeared from within me.
I guess the pain in my legs might be too much for me.
I wonder how much I care about what other people think of me on a daily basis.
No matter how slow you are, no matter how late you are at the back.
Even while walking, stopping many times.
My younger brother is very confident.
"No good, I can't see Ryota."
My mother said, in tears.
"That's amazing. That girl is working incredibly hard. I'll try my best too."
The mother, moved by her younger brother's miracle and his determination, pushed her wheelchair while holding back tears.
there was.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I apologize in my heart. I wasn't embarrassed or anything like that.
How proud I feel now.
My younger brother has something much more important than running. Even here in Hawaii.
But that doesn't matter at all.
You don't have to run. Just move forward.
From now on, if I feel like I am being crushed by preconceptions or pressure, I will think to myself again and again,
I think I'll be able to see it. This back.
4 hours and 40 minutes from the start.
The Kishida family completed the 10km Honolulu Marathon. Or rather, they completed the walk. Either way is fine.
,Whichever.
I was given a medal when I finished.
It was the first time I had ever felt so grateful for something that sounded like a participation award.
With great effort, both my mother and I were making him walk, but in fact we were being made to walk ourselves.
There will be many things that will happen in the future.
To be torn apart.
No matter how much preparation you do, there will surely be times when things don't come to fruition.
"But, well, I could walk."
The Kishida family motto was created to be used at times like that.
It's good to be quick. The one who moves forward wins.
I want to overcome everything with the thought, "Well, I could walk."
In Hawaii, we found that hope.
