Athens to Atlanta Epiphany
I was running some months back, after I had just read Dean Karnazes' Ultra Marathon Man book, and I was thinking how I wanted to run for someone else's life. I am just a part time worker and I dont make a whole lot of money, so what can I do for someone who is sick.
It came to me later when I was looking at endurance events online. I found an inline skating event where they skate from Athens to Atlanta. I then thought to myself that would be awesome to run it. So I decided to email the race directors thinking it can never hurt to ask. Within 24 hours of emailing them I received an email back saying that they thought that it was an amazing idea.
Since then I have taken the idea and run with it, literally. It fuels my runs and gives my every step a reason to take another one. I can't stop Im not running for my life but for someone else's life.
The money I raise goes to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society to help find new cures and help treat others stricken with these diseases!
I am running in Honor of Carter!
