A short documentary, 'Running With Emilio,' is receiving film festival recognition and will have a premiere at The Lot in Liberty Station on Aug. 11.
When Richard Nares made his 1,700-mile run from Seattle to San Diego in 2018, he packed an extra pair of sneakers.
His dad, an artist who was working in a picture framing business, started dedicating his lunch breaks to driving other parents with sick kids, whom he had met during his son’s treatment, to and from Rady Children’s Hospital for their oncology visits. They started handing out free bags of post-treatment snacks to the tiny patients. And one of the women volunteers with a sick son designed a T-shirt with an opening by the shoulder that unsnaps to allow access to the patient’s chest for a catheter port. That allowed delivery of chemotherapy and medication without the child having to remove clothing.
When his son was being treated in a hospital in Boston, where they hoped for a miracle, runners were outside training for the Boston Marathons, much to Emilio’s delight. When the donation tally was completed, his journey had raised $240,000 for the Emilio Nares Foundation, bringing the total for all three of his runs to about $360,000.
The filming began as a casual documentation to post on the foundation website. Lynn drove the van and filmed, and her husband flew out from their home near New York City to help.
