Run for one Planet - Fund raiser

[Dalma]

About a week ago I was flipping through the Vancouver Province paper and found an article entitles "Crazy? Not if you care ... They plan to run 220 marathons in in 12 months".

As I'm a runner I was quite interested in to read the article. In in I found that two local GVRD people Stephanie Tait and Matt Hill are planning an Eco Running event where they will be running in Canada and US to promote their case. I got in touch with them and they were kind enough to let me do a short interview with them. In a nutshell they plan to run pretty much a marathon a day for much of the upcomming year.

If you are interested they would love some feedback and they have a bunch of events planned as the lead up to their May 4th kickoff.

If you would like to see the interview I have it and their bios posted here http://runbuddycanada.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=32

Their support team will be travelling in their "mother ship" an eco friendly motorhome with enough gadgets to make Jame Bond happy.

In speaking with them I was so impressed by their upbeat, can do it all attitudes. My hat's (helmet) is off them them.

Wow, that sounds like a daunting but otherwise exciting challenge.  I hope their bodies can take it!

I'm not sure how they are quite going to manage it either. I know that it would simply kill me but they are ready.. or least that's their claim... LOL

sigh.. 2nd vid they keep talking about "saving the planet" what exactly does an ever-changing open system need to be saved from?
with humans or not life on earth will continue to flourish...

its a good idea they got for a good cause i just disagree with the bush like scare tactics they add in there for extra effect..
