Tony dressed up as me for Halloween. Complete with head lamp, race bib and tattoo! |
I've been asked several times why running 100 miles is significant to Tony or what made me decide that running 100 miles would raise the most money. The simplest answer I can muster is because it's bat-sh*t crazy. Are you going to donate $100 to someone who holds out their hand or someone that does something completely insane to earn your $100? Of the 1% of people who run ultra marathons each year, even fewer run 100 miles in memory of a friend or to raise money. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like being the crazy one in the neighborhood though...it's my brand of fun.

So why do I run 100 miles?
To inspire.
To give hope.
To run for those that can't.
The press coverage we have for the run should be great - the article by KTAR, the upcoming press release in The Republic and my interview with FOX10 will definitely bring awareness to our efforts and the friend I continue to miss each and every day. I hope you'll join me this Saturday to honor my friend Tony and everyone else who can no longer run or walk because of ALS.
