My two longest runs ever have been a couple of unofficial 50k’s back in 2002 and 2003. This coming Sunday I hope to set a new record when I run the 33rd leg of the Four Million Steps charity run with local runner Tommy Neeson. The 33rd leg will start at around 9am in Newport News, VA and finish several hours and 33 miles later at the Ronald McDonald House Charities Norfolk, VA – the charity Tommy is putting his best foot forward to help.
Tommy started his epic endurance run in Bangor, Maine on August 27th and in 30 days has racked up a massive 923 miles! Amazing thing is, he’s not even half way done. After a well-deserved rest day next Monday, Tommy sets off on the southern half of his run with the final destination being Miami, Florida.
Check out this recent blog post for a taste of what I have in store on Sunday. Should be a fun time, and I can’t wait to help out with the baby jogger….
Tommy, husband to Elaine, father to Shelby and parent of a child lost to cancer (Randi) has a passion for running and a passion for helping others in need. Please consider making a donation to this very worthwhile cause which will ultimately help many, many people who are battling through a very
difficult and emotional time in their life.
Tommy,
I just wanted to say “Hi” and that Thomas and I are thinking about you. Just Keep Running:)
