If anyone is ready to forgo sight and sleep, and run for an entire day, it is Witzing, Chessman and Chontosh. “No matter what the struggle is, no matter how grave the odds might seem, it’s always worth continuing the fight. You’re stronger for fighting, and there are people there who want to see you get through it.”• Email: nfaris@postmedia.com | Twitter: @nickmfaris
