Link: Ret’s Story
Background
On November 6, 2005, David Newman and Rik Wilson launched the first Run for Ret by running the New York City Marathon in memory of a friend and a brother-in-law, Ret Thomas. They both had run this marathon before, but this time it was very different. They were specifically honoring the spirit and courage of Ret’s fight against cancer.

The first annual Island Run for Ret took place on Saturday, September 1, 2007 on the roads and trails of Sea Pines Forest Preserve, a 600-acre, prestine maritime forest enviroment.
