Four Million Steps: Charity Run From Bangor, Maine To Miami, Florida

If you'd like to be notified next time I write something, sign up for email alerts or subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for reading!

How about this for an epic endurance run for charity? Local runner, Tommy Neeson, 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. In less than 7 days time, Tommy will set off on a 2300 mile adventure from Bangor, Maine to Miami, Florida, stopping off at different Ronald McDonald Houses to
visit and support families affected by cancer.

You may remember last year, Tommy raised thousands of dollars for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Norfolk, VA with a world record setting 50k treadmill run. I guess just over 31 miles wasn’t enough for him?

You can check Tommy’s official route here, and if you’d like to run with Tommy, you can sign up here. On a personal note, I’ve committed to run the 33rd stage from Newport News, VA to Norfolk, VA, which just so happens to be 33 miles long; the longest single run of my life.

If you’re unable to run with Tommy, please consider making a donation. There are several options listed here.

Tommy, I wish you the very best of British! No doubt I’ll talk to you soon, but if not I guess I’ll see you in Newport News…..
