Debbie Simoncek's Story
Every spring the Marathoners for Medicine program raises significant funds for CVIM. Due to the corona virus, races have been cancelled. CVIM's needs, however, have not gone away. As a runner who committed to raising funds this year for CVIM, I have decided to make up my own running event and hope you will consider supporting CVIM through it. My idea is to run
the length of a full marathon (26.2 miles) over the course of 24 hrs. I
hope to run a mix of road and trail for half the distance (13.1 miles), ending at a
remote site, camp the night, and then run the route back home the next
day, thus completing the length- but with an extra adventure (don't worry, my family has joined in to support me)! I am
aiming to do this the last week of April (before turkey hunting, bugs, and snakes) based on weather conditions.
Please join me in the fundraising effort for CVIM, a great organization that needs our help!
