Here is a young Haitian man literally running for a good cause. When you first meet Petrus Cesarion, you are surprised by his diminutive size and quiet nature. However, you are soon taken in by his hip-hop influenced fashion sense, and even more so his driving passion for running for a cause close to his heart: to help the people of Haiti. At the age of 22, Petrus stumbled into becoming a marathon racer. Never having run in an organized race before, a friend of his convinced him to run a local 4 mile race based on his runner’s lean frame. Doubtful, he decided to trust his friend and entered the competition. Wearing an old pair of tennis sneakers, Cesarion blew past all the other contestants to become the first place winner. As they say, the rest is history.
