Forever at the Finish Line tells the remarkable and inspiring story
of Daniel Mitrovich, a runner from San Diego who had a goal of
putting a life-size statue of New York Marathon founder Fred Lebow
in Central Park. New York's parks commissioner Henry Stern said "It
will be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than
to put a statue in Central Park." It would not be easy for someone
who lacked financial backing and who wasn't even a New Yorker to
make this happen. But with the faith and blessing of Fred Lebow,
the support of his family, and his own personal determination, he
knew it would happen. His journey involved crossing the continent
many times, securing the support of some of the most famous runners
of our time, including Joan Benoit Samuelson, Grete Waitz, Alberto
Salazar, Bill Rodgers, and Carl Lewis. He would ultimately gain the
endorsements of some of the most powerful political people of our
time: presidents George Herbert Walker Bush and William Jefferson
Clinton, Governor Andrew Cuomo, US senators Alan K. Simpson and Al
D'Amato, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and thirteen members of Congress.
Daniel Mitrovich's personal story will show you that if you pursue
a dream with the right intent you will be "Forever at the Finish
Line."
