“Running has become a foundational part of my life. Completing this extreme endurance event in 2023 was a monumental piece of building my new life. A little over 3 years ago, smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, I’d laugh at the idea of becoming a “runner” never mind 48 miles in 48 hours! The principles I acquired in tackling this task have followed me into every area of my life today. This opened the door to getting on the path of trying to see what I am truly capable of physically, mentally and then that leads into spiritually. This year has become more about helping my brothers who are attempting to conquer this challenge for the first time. Which in turn helps me in multiple ways to be able to get another completed year myself, while also being afforded the opportunity to give back to the ministry that ultimately saved my life! I sincerely thank you for ANY and ALL support given to help us achieve our goal of completing this gargantuan task!”
