The incredible true story of Meb Keflezighi, winner of the 2014
Boston Marathon When Meb Keflezighi signed up to run the Boston
Marathon in 2014, no one expected him to be the first to cross the
finish line. But if there's one thing Meb knows how to do, it's
overcome. Yet Meb is the living embodiment of the American dream.
His family came to the U.S. to escape poverty and a violent war;
12-year-old Meb spoke no English at the time and had never raced a
mile. Thanks to hard work and determination, he excelled
academically and became an Olympic silver medalist. But it all came
crashing down when Meb, a favorite for the Beijing Olympics,
fractured his hip and pelvis during the trials and was left
literally crawling. That same day, he lost his close friend and
fellow marathoner to a cardiac arrest. Devastated, Meb was about to
learn whether his faith in God, the values his parents had taught
him, and his belief that he was born to run were enough to see him
through. "Run to Overcome" is the story of a true American champion
who discovered the real meaning of victory against all odds. Now
with an updated chapter after Meb's amazing finish in Boston.
