Flushing resident Yi-joo Kwon is passing through Missouri in his run from LA to NYC to raise awareness for diabetes, which he almost died from in 1996. Beginning on March 23rd, the 64-year-old has averaged over a marathon a day, and is currently a week ahead of his 110-day schedule. Facebook fans have nicknamed him "Flushing's Gump," and seem to be giving him a lot of support (in Korean). Supporter Sang Ho Seo writes, "Thorny path of suffering and self. Set forth in the way of your, Wishing you the glory." Poetry, or just Google Translate?
