Corey C. ran from his home to his Nana’s. It took seven days!

Grandma Ruth had been sick. Mr. C. could not hug her. He could say, “I love you.”

 

READ MORE: Corey Cappelloni is a runner. He runs many long races. But this race was for his grandma. She is nearly 99 years old. She got the coronavirus. She was lonely and afraid. Corey ran over 200 miles from his house in Washington, D.C., to her nursing home in Scranton, Pennsylvania. She looked out her window. He talked to her on the phone. They were happy to see each other. Proverbs 17:6 says, “Grandchildren are the crown of the aged.”
