Chad and Amy Kempel had struggled for years with infertility and pregnancy loss, and had begun to think that they would never have the large family they'd dreamed of. Then along came quintuplets Lincoln, Grayson, Preston, Noelle, and Gabriella. What followed, as they both tell Guinness World Records in a recent YouTube video, was non-stop noise and chaos at home – albeit the kind they're incredibly grateful for.

查德和艾米·凱佩爾多年來一直與不孕不育和流產(chǎn)作斗爭,他們以為他們永遠不會擁有夢想中的大家庭。緊接著卻迎來了五胞胎林肯、格雷森、普雷斯頓、諾埃爾和加布里埃拉。正如他們在最近的一段YouTube視頻中告訴吉尼斯世界紀錄的那樣,接下來發(fā)生的是家里無休止的噪音和混亂——盡管他們對此非常感激。

"One of my escapes, either after they go to bed or early in the morning, is I go for a run," says Chad. "Running is my thing, that's my anti-depressant, that's my feel-good, that's my celebration. Every emotion, I pair that with running... When we had the quintuplets, I didn't really expect that I would go running with all five of them at the same time."

查德說:“我的一個逃避方式,要么是在他們上床睡覺后,要么是一大早,就去跑步。跑步是我的愛好,是我的抗抑郁藥,是我的良好感覺,也是我的自我慶祝。每一種情緒,我都把它和跑步聯(lián)系起來。。。當我們有五胞胎的時候,我真的沒想到我會和他們五個同時跑。”

However, shortly after finding a jogging stroller which would seat all five babies, Chad began to think about setting himself a challenge that his children could be a part of. "At some point close to their first birthday, I decided that I wanted to do something to kind of celebrate how far we had come to now be this family," he says. "So I had the idea that I would complete a full marathon pushing the quintuplets. And I thought, hey, when I do this, as a bonus, I'm going to try and set a Guinness World Record title for this event."

然而,在找到一輛能讓五個嬰兒都坐著的慢跑嬰兒車后不久,查德就開始考慮給自己設(shè)置一個挑戰(zhàn),他的孩子們可以參與其中。”他說:“在他們一歲生日的某個時候,我決定做點什么來慶祝我們成為一家人了。所以我有了一個想法,我要帶著五胞胎完成一場馬拉松。我想,嘿,當我這么做的時候,作為獎勵,我要為這個項目創(chuàng)造吉尼斯世界紀錄。”

And so in 2019, Chad put Gabriella, Grayson, Lincoln, Noelle and Preston into their stroller at the starting line of the Modesto Marathon in California, and completed the entire 26-2-mile run in 4 hours, 42 minutes and 49 seconds, setting a new record for the fastest known time while pushing a quintuplet pram.

因此在2019年,查德把加布里埃拉、格雷森、林肯、諾埃爾和普雷斯頓放進他們的嬰兒車里,在加州莫德斯托馬拉松的起跑線上,用4小時42分49秒完成了全程26公里的馬拉松,創(chuàng)造了推著一輛五胞胎嬰兒車的已知最快時間的新紀錄。

"Normally I would sprint towards the finish, especially when trying to set a record like this," he says. "But we were running towards it, and I thought, I don't want this moment to end. So I stopped, and brought it to a walk, and said I'm just going to walk across this thing and take it all in... I want the kids to know that anything is possible. Doing things like this with the kids is the kind of stuff that I had hoped that I would do as a parent."

“通常我會沖刺到終點,尤其是在試圖創(chuàng)造這樣的紀錄時,”他說,“但我們朝它跑去的時候,我突然不想這一刻結(jié)束。所以我慢了下來,帶著他們慢慢的走,并跟他們說我們現(xiàn)在要跑過終點線了,我們完成了。。。我想讓孩子們知道,一切皆有可能。和孩子們一起做這樣的事情,是我作為一個家長希望做的事情。”
