Eight weeks after the idea for this project was born, Cody stood at the start line of his first marathon. What began as a distant concept quickly became tangible. The clock was ticking, and the commitment had already been made.
Three weeks before race day, he injured his knee — enough to question whether the pursuit was premature. Instead of stepping back, he focused on getting it stable, just strong enough to toe the line. It wasn’t perfect, but it held. The marathon became Part I of III — the first proof that this project would be built through resilience, not ideal conditions.
