Last month, Chad Kempel ran a half marathon in California. He finished in 2 hours and 19 minutes. There’s nothing extraordinary about any of this unless you consider that he did it pushing five of his seven kids in a stroller all 13.1 miles. A stroller that weighed 240 pounds.
Sure, we’ve all seen moms and dads on the bike trails pushing a stroller with one, maybe two kids……….. but five??? Why?
Chad was also carrying a sign the whole way that answers that question. A sign that says, “Anything is possible”. He wanted to show his kids that anything is possible. And it seems to be working, Chad said that on of his daughters was trying to lift something and started to complain that it was too heavy, but she stopped and said, “Wait. Anything is possible.” I watched one of Chad’s videos on Youtube. He talks about being inspired by his wife and what she went through having the kids, quintuplets, and the strength he sees in her and the rest of his family as inspiration.
I should also mention that Chad set a Guinness world record for pushing kids during a half marathon. Proving not only is anything possible, but that Guinness will turn anything into a world record.
