What a finish line!

Does this just not look like the most beautiful finish line for anyone? This is where George will cross the finish line in his race across the Sahara!

After 155 miles, seeing the pyramids rising out of the Giza plateau (and knowing it is not a mirage) has got to be a comforting thought. Let's hope it fills George with a renewed energy to push toward the finish line for Luci!

George is running to raise awareness and money for the MAGIC Foundation* and panhypopituitarism. Panhypopituitarism is a disorder which affects the pituitary gland: The master gland which tells the body to produce hormones like growth hormone, adrenaline and estrogen or testosterone. With panhypopituitarism, the pituitary gland does not send enough signals to the glands of the body to produce what is needed to grow, mature or even live.

Luci will need treatment for her entire life. Learn more about panhypopituitarism. George is running across the desert to get your attention. Let him know you are listening by joining the MAGIC Foundation and/or making a donation.
