262 | Bobby Imamura, Teacher and ALS Running Partner

After a late start to running, Los Angeles math teacher Bobby Imamura became hooked on marathons, just like the rest of us. But at one point, he wasn't sure why. Until he started running with ALS (formerly known as Lou Gherig's disease) athletes, and seeing their goals become his own. Along the way, with the support of Tata Consultancy Services, they nearly broke the world record for running a marathon with a wheelchair while making an impact on all those around him. In April, Bobby finished the London Marathon for his sixth and final star of the Abbott World Marathon Majors.
