supporting his mission to run in the<br />
marathon. One of Whelan’s biggest<br />
supporters is his father, Daniel Whelan,<br />
who is described as his “coach.”<br />
“My dad, when he found out I was<br />
running, was kind of surprised,” Whelan<br />
said, laughing. “He has always been<br />
there for me though. Whenever I went<br />
out for a run he would ask how many<br />
miles I ran and had encouraged me to<br />
keep going with my running.”<br />
When asked about any worries he<br />
has about the marathon, Whelan said<br />
he was a little intimidated about the<br />
infamous Heartbreak Hill.<br />
That said, he believes that if he can<br />
conquer Heartbreak Hill, it will send<br />
a message to the children he is raising<br />
money for — that the climb may be an<br />
uphill battle, but you can conquer no<br />
matter the circumstances.<br />
“This marathon is not for me,” he<br />
said. “As a kid, you don’t realize about<br />
the treatments and experiences. I hope<br />
to make a difference not just for my<br />
peers, but for these kids.”<br />
