How about this for a crazy idea? Running 100 miles around the beautiful island of Grand Cayman to raise much needed funds for the Cayman Islands Diabetes Association. Sounds pretty crazy, huh?
Well, this ambitious athletic endeavor is exactly what James Murray is aiming to do on November 26th, 2011. James has been planning the crazy idea for the last 14 months, and has recruited ultra runner extraordinaire Lisa Smith Batchen to be his coach and running mentor. If you’ve never heard of Lisa (shame on you), she’s a two-time winner of the Badwater Ultramarathon and the only American to win the Marathon des Sables!
James is also hoping to inspire both the people of Grand Cayman and beyond to participate in their own “Crazy Idea”, either for personal satisfaction or in order to raise money for a worthy cause.
Check out the brand new video from James in which he talks about his dreams, ambitions and expectations for the “crazy idea”. Cool stuff!
Full details of the run, including health & fitness tips, CI Diabetes Association information, a list of current sponsors and info on how YOU can donate can be found on the “A Crazy Idea” web site.
