We have received hundreds of stories and responses from around the world since the release of the documentary “The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson”. I love how this story comes all the way from New Zealand and the smile on this girl’s face is just so beautiful and reminds me of Moriah.

The email exchange tells the story. I hope you all find it inspiring!
Moving Forward with MOmentum,

Dear Wilson Family,
I am a 26 year old runner from New Zealand, I saw Moriah’s documentary today and it moved me greatly, as a fellow lover of the outdoors I would be honoured if I could carry her legacy with me in my half marathon event on Saturday the 17 May, it is my first marathon event and it would be awesome if I could support her spirit and the foundation by running with an image of her alongside my race number – let me know if you would be okay with this I completely understand if not.

Hi Madison,

You go girl! Run hard and have fun. Here’s a photo of Moriah at the start of a running challenge in high school at the Green Mountain Run. Her birthday is May 18th.

You can do this!
