“Run Greg Run” is a remarkable and highly inspirational story about a man named Greg Cohen, an athletic trainer and distance runner, who also suffers from a rare incurable autoimmune disease called Scleroderma. Scleroderma is a disease that causes hardening of the connective tissue with symptoms such as: painful tightening of the skin, muscle and joint pain, fatigue, digital ulcers, and difficulty breathing – among other challenging symptoms.
This documentary tells the story of how Greg set out on an incredible mission to run 4 marathons in 1 year, in an effort to raise awareness and in support of a community of patients who are struggling and in desperate need of a cure. For someone with this condition running just 1 marathon is amazing, let alone 4! The film highlights how Greg’s grit, determination and passion for a cause that is deeply personal to him carried him through to achieve a remarkable goal.
