Its Time To Run

In less than two months, I will attempt what many have told me is impossible.
At 8 AM on May 15, I will begin what has been affectionately dubbed The Extra Mile Run.

100 Miles.
24 Hours.
1 Cause.

Many have asked what has caused me to tackle this step toward self annihilation. It’s not quite that bad for me. But it is bad for them. They are a group of children who have no access to health care in California. Many of them are at Oak Ridge Elementary .

Running 100 miles will raise finance and awarness to secure health care for these children. One hundred percent of the proceeds goes to reaching this goal.

So many great things to say.

Take a moment and go to The Extra Mile Run website and hear and see the story unfold.

Be part of history. Make health care available for every child.

Wanting to run the extra mile,

One Million Without Care

BE CHANGE

I believe the greatest purpose in life is when someone gives themselves to a cause bigger than them. Since early 2007, The Extra Mile Run has been my cause.

As a person, I am first and foremost a father and husband. With a commitment to live life to the fullest, The Extra Mile Run is no exception to my pattern and habit of pushing the envelope of life. As a seeker of relevant truth and a communicator of authentic faith, I want my life to connect to those from all facets and faiths.

I want to communicate hope in practical ways. Whether in a third world country or with a Fortune 500 CEO, lets builds bridges. I desire to connect people to their purpose and mobilize them to "Be Change."

When I discovered that a million children in California did not have health care and yet 70% of them qualified for it, I was moved. I recognized this was a moment to bend history. Thoughts swirled into vision, vision to action, and action produced willingness to something.
