John Dougall will be running his first (and last!) marathon on September 11th in the Big Cottonwood Canyon Marathon. John is running as a tribute to our late founder, Dr. Lawrence Dorr and to bring awareness to Operation Walk’s mission to provide free surgical treatment for patients in developing countries and in the United States without access to life-improving care for arthritis or other debilitating bone and joint conditions.
“My hope to raise much-needed funds for Operation Walk to continue their amazing work, to pay tribute to the founder, Dr. Larry Dorr who sadly passed in late 2020 and to all of the people who give their time and expertise so generously to help others.
“I never ran regularly before the COVID-19 pandemic and those 26.2 miles are going to hurt, but not as much as millions of people with joint disease hurt every day. Covid has curtailed the efforts of Operation Walk to help those people and when travel resumes, there will be more in need than ever. ”
