A Million Miles for A Million Mementos
The power of sport is pervasive and timeless. Dating back to the Roman Coliseum in 80 BC sports have played a major role in the development of our society. It was the athletic contests originated by the dynamic Greek and Roman cultures that inspired individuals to reach beyond their limits and strive for excellence.
What makes an athlete immortal? Athletic prowess, of course, personal statistics, continuous excellence… these too, but beyond the sheer power of the performance, lies the individual… the man, the woman, who motivate all of us through extraordinary achievement and maximum effort. Babe Ruth, Mia Hamm, Lance Armstrong, Babe Didrikson, Jackie Joyner Kersey, Muhamad Ali, Jim Thorpe, Michael Jordan, Pele, Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky, the mere mention of their names conjures up images of greatness.
