1 More Mile for Sunshine

Quick shout out to Blaine Moore of the informative Run to Win web site, who is currently on Day 25 of his 1 More Mile for Sunshine Challenge. Blaine’s goal is to raise money for Camp Sunshine by running at least 500 miles throughout the month of January.

The challenge started on January 1st with Blaine running at least 1 mile, followed by at least 2 miles on the 2nd, all the way up through 31 miles on the 31st! Last week Blaine logged over 148 miles which leaves about about 196 miles to cover in the final seven days of the challenge. What makes the task even more difficult is the adverse weather conditions at this time of year in Portland, Maine where Blaine lives. I honestly don’t envy the job in hand, but if anyone can pull it off, I’m sure Blaine can.

You can read more about the 1 More Mile for Sunshine Challenge here, and if you feel like making a donation, I’m certain Blaine will be VERY appreciative.

Good luck Blaine!

Camp Sunshine supports children with life threatening illnesses and their families. The camp has the distinction of being the only program in the nation whose mission is to address the impact of a life threatening illness on every member of the immediate family—the ill child, the parents, and the siblings. Since its inception, Camp Sunshine has provided a haven for over 30,000 individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.

  1. Thanks for the mention, Steve! I wish yesterday had gone a little better. I won’t make the 500 miles, but hopefully I can still finish the month off with a 50k (or at least 1 loop of the planned fat ass race.)
