Sitting here in the August heat, its hard to wrap my mind around running in the rain or in the cold December weather. Less than 18 weeks away, December 4, thousands will toe the start line of the California International Marathon. Hundreds, we hope, will be doing so on behalf of Be Change.
Last December, Ray Sanchez, Brian Recore, Carl Costas, Eddie Ballisty, and myself had fun with the CIM. We opted weeks prior to run to the starting line from the finish line by the time the race started. Then as the gun sounded, run the official. Total run 52.4 miles, all to bring awareness to the children who live in Sacramento who are needing, wanting, and ready to a better tomorrow.
Surrounded by great teachers, many led by incredible parents, and loved by all, these kids just want to get the most out of life. We try to help make that happen. Whether it is seeing a dentist, going to the doctor, having a winter jacket, or owning a 'new' pair of shoes, simple gestures of compassion can change the world.
We never thought running 52 would be so enticing.
Our good friend @willframpton at KXTV 10 covered the story.
