On September 6, three women will take to the road. Murphy to Manteo is “A Running Journey to benefit Parkinson’s disease research.” But this isn’t your standard charity run…this is three women – Lisa Tew, Shay Mendes and Kristy Tomicki - on a mission to raise money and awareness for Parkinson’s disease by running across the entire state of North Carolina – from the most western tip of the state, Murphy, to the most eastern part of the state, Manteo. A total of 545 miles in just 16 days!
Their plan is to spend 16 days on the road…running. Each morning they will start running by 7am, take a mid afternoon rest of 2-3 hours and be back on the road by 3pm until dark. They anticipate that most days will consist of 8 to 10 hours of running. An RV will be their home during the run; providing the necessary shelter and food to replenish their bodies.
Their goal is to engage each community that they run through to support the cause. This incredible endeavor is in honor or Lisa’s dad, who lives with Parkinson’s.
Read more about each of these incredible women and follow them on Twitter to stay up to date on their progress.
We are so impressed with this undertaking and honored that they have chosen to run in support of Team Fox. Please take a moment to visit their Web site and consider donating to their efforts.
