One reason I run

Below is a statement from WWP. This is one of many reason I am running. Please consider supporting me on my journey to help our wounded warriors. 100% of the money I raise in my year long run will go directly to WWP.


Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is outraged that the continued gridlock and government shutdown is now threatening the disbursement of benefits payments to the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for this nation. WWP is committing $20 million to support registered Wounded Warrior Alumni should government checks not go out on or around November 1, 2013. If you are a registered Alumnus as of October 14, 2013, WWP is prepared to send you a $500 check if the government does not come to a resolution in time for the November payment. These funds are to assist with expenses during this payment gap, and WWP will not ask for reimbursement. While this action would not solve all financial hardship, we are committed to helping our warriors, especially in time of crisis.

Week 20 Update

Week 20-
758.3 miles run to date
$2631.30 raised in pennies per mile

I can't believe that Bob has been running for the Wounded Warriors for 20 weeks. Each mile he runs raises much needed money for The Wounded Warrior Project. Please consider pledging today.

Week 19 Update

Week 19
725.6 miles run
$2517.83 raised in pennies per mile.

He keeps running and meeting so many great people. Thank you for your support. Have a great week. This weekend he had the privilege to run in the Stirin Stars and Stripes Run at SUNY IT.

Week 18:

699 miles (oh so close) run
$2425.53 raised in pennies per mile to date

We have had so many wonderful comments about this project. So many supporters and pledges. We truly feel blessed. Bob has gone through one pair of sneakers so far, he recently had a donation just to help him pay for a new pair. When we first began this journey we were hoping to raise $1000.00. With your support as you can see the total is way beyond that and we are only 18 weeks in. Bob had originally hoped to run 1000 miles. Now that has changed and he is looking at 1800. Today he ran in Utica for a change. A pretty fall day for his run. In two weeks we are headed to Albany for the Mohawk Hudson Half Marathon.

Thank you for your support.

Week 17

Week 17! Short running week due to being in the Falling Leaves Road Race. Bob took a couple of days off. 

To date 671.4 miles run
Raised in Pennies per Mile $2329.76

Thank you to everyone who has pledged.

Chilly Morning Runs

It is starting to get cold.  The temperature was 44 degrees at morning running time today.  Bob had to wear a jacket twice this week.  I don't want to tell him but pretty soon he will have to put his shorts away and get out his insulated gear. We received a new pledge this week. It is wonderful to have support from not only family and local friends but from strangers and friends from all over the country.

Week 16 of 52
630 total miles run to date
$2188.88 earned in pennies per mile pledged.
$3.42 per mile.

Thank you for all of your support.
