When I saw you on the news I thought they were celebrating Rainer! I have been a long time follower and supporter. I was sad to see all the criticism but I’m glad that Rainers story will be shared, it’s so inspiring to see such a young kid do something I wouldn’t dream of doing! For your followers around the world, how can we watch this!

When my mother in law was training for her first marathon last year, she texted us for prayer because she didn't know if she could actually go through with it. I sent her the marathon video from when Filia was 6. She was very inspired, and went on to run 18 miles of the marathon. 🥰 I can't wait to watch this one!

Let's see; Well fed kids, strong opinionated kids, caring parents, nice home, lots of love, out in the public and well socialized, strong parental encouragement....Yep thats a recipe for the media and authorities to ripe you apart and deem you bad parents. STAND FIRM & FIGHT FOR

I remember a few years back when Filia - sorry if I spelled her name wrong - did the 24 hour race with the family - there was no great fuss over that, was there? She did fantastic and Rainier did an equally great job. Yes he got an owie from falling and that was sad but he finished what he set out to do :)

As a kid who was dragged on long physical thru hikes and walks and ached the next day and still had to carry on (not even relevant since he wasn’t dragged)I thank my parents everyday for those experiences. Even if I didn’t know at the time… Being physical and pushing ourselves and seeing the world this way is literally what humans are meant to do.. good for you guys!

[THESASKIAAHH]

I'm very proud to have your book with Rainier's signature in it :)

[maylis]

Got teared up watching the trailer, cant wait for the full video!

[MermaidMaiden]

I started to cry watching it. I truly hope this will help all those who were saying so many negative things see the truth behind how amazing you all are as a family. Watched you all hike the AT, love you all!

My father would pressure me to run long distances and then I really didn't have the power to say no because my dad was a manipulative passive aggressive jerk. I consider it massive abuse and haven't forgiven him to this Kids don't choose this... they want the approval of their parents/fathers and don't know how to say NO, claim boundaries, or stand up for

[TheNoonie]

I've been watching this family for years. I've always been totally amazed by them, their accomplishments, their transparency, and the thought they put into decision making. I'm proud of them....wait, I'm allowed to be proud of them even though I don't really know them, right? Yep, thought so....:)
