Can Theo go the distance?
Theo Gordimer is a classic thirteen-year-old couch potato: he prefers video games and TV shows to playing sports.Then his
favorite aunt is diagnosed with cancer. Theo wants to do something to help her, but what? Then his friend Paul tells him about
an upcoming five-kilometer road race to raise money for cancer research. Theo is panicked: running the race seems like the
perfect way to help out his aunt, but five kilometers is more than three miles! Theo can barely run a quarter of a mile without
having to stop. How will he be able to do it?
