‘Still at it’: San Antonio running community supports coach Eddie Hernandez
Eddie Hernandez gives a thumbs up to competitors after a 5K run at the Runners Ranch to help offset medical expenses that Hernandez has accumulated as a result of two strokes.Early Sunday morning, on the far South Side, long-time runner Eddie Hernandez found himself in an unfamiliar place — on the sidelines. Many runners he had paced in races, mentored and pushed to new heights sprinted by on a soft, sandy trail through sun-parched fields.
On Sunday, more than 250 people, including family, volunteers and supporters, attended the “Miles for Coach Eddie” fundraiser to help Hernandez pay for medical bills and health insurance that ended in mid-June. When word spread her family was planning a fundraiser, the running community’s response was swift. Erik and Kristine Burciaga from E-Dragon Productions donated T-shirts and finisher’s medals. Jose and Minny Iñiguez, owners of Iñiguez Athletic Advertising & Promotions, sponsored the race at their far South Side ranch.
As he did with his five children, Hernandez shared his wisdom with youngsters, called the “Four D’s”: dedication, determination, discipline and desire. It was his guide to help keep them out of harm’s way.
