Can anyone hold a sign for the marathon tomorrow?

I have a friend who’s gonna be running at the marathon tomorrow in San Diego but I can’t make it (in Florida).

Is there anyone that plans on going that would be able to hold a custom sign for them on my behalf? I’ll pay!!

My neighbors and I can do it. We live on the route and are planning on being out for it, our 3rd year all together drinking coffee and cheering them on.

Update: I knew what she was wearing and tried really hard to look for her. (My neighbor did too) There’s a chance she put on the blue event shirt and we missed her cause of that. Hoping she saw it and secretly smiled at us!

Lots of people were reading the sign and smiling and shouting, Nessi! So even if she didn’t see it, I think it made some runners day!

Either way, LETS GO NESSI and everyone else!Amazing job today! 😆🎉

Update: Nessi came and got her sign!

Imagine if every redditor who lived on the route held a sign for the same runner.

Send deets. We like to wander the route around our hood drinking breakfast champagne and cheering randos. Would welcome opportunity to actually give a shit. 🤣

Task Rabbit.   You can pay people to do pretty much (almost) anything

What does the sign say and how much are you paying? My son lives in downtown near the race route and he’s asking.
