Quotes:
"I watched the film and absolutely loved it!...'A Swiftly Fading Spirit' is a
moving and inspiring work."
~ Josh Cox, elite American marathoner, member of the U.S. National
Track Team 2005
"I can empathize with the young protagonist. All runners know about
dodging a car on the run and struggling to survive financially as a
post-collegiate runner...the young runner tried to overcome so many
obstacles, but he stuck to his guns so to speak. It's a very gutty movie,
just like the sport."
~ Bill Rodgers, Olympian, member of the U.S. Track and Field Hall of
Fame, 4-time winner of the Boston Marathon, 4-time winner of the New
York City Marathon
