Last year, while serving at one of the water stops at the OKC Memorial Marathon, I see these two come running by (with the front of the pack, I may add) and I was immediately inspired. Then did a double-take to recognize it was Dubya and I's good friend, Hunter Sallee running! The moment only allowed for a quick "HUNTER!!!" and a wave, but I knew I wanted to hear their story. You don't just run a half marathon pushing a wheelchair on a whim... Nah, a selfless act like this, God has nudged your heart and propelled your legs.
Sure enough, hearing Hunter's story and how it began from birth for him, it's a beautiful testimony of gratitude for healing and also a reminder of how we can and should use the gifts and talents God has given us for the benefit of others.
Hunter Sallee is an avid runner who has chosen to use this gift of his to serve others through the Hoyt Organization, which is a non-profit organization that was formed in 1989 which aspires to build the individual character, self-confidence and self-esteem of America’s disabled young people through inclusion in all facets of daily life.
Today, we're talking about:
