Every day for the past 39 years, a man nicknamed the Raven has tackled an 8-mile run along Miami’s South Beach. It’s an incredible streak—and as inspiring as it is exhausting. Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine, January 2014.

Running with Raven Update: Imagination & Golden Ray

Golden Ray (age 8) and Imagination (age 10) receive the "Event of the Year" certificate at the Raven Run Banquet for being the youngest to complete the eight mile run and swim. Not only are these boys stellar athletes, they give some pretty amazing life advice.

“We wanted an intimate ceremony and someone who knew us, not just a stranger with authority,” explained Extra. “We thought Raven would be perfect. He’s someone we know and love and trust.”

“He’s a friend,” added Molder. “We wanted a friend to marry us.”
