About the Event:

On 12/30/08, I completed 19 straight years of running at least one mile every day. Thousands of miles, hundreds of races, scores of friends. But it still felt like it was missing some sort of purpose. Well, that will be taken care of this year in a big way.

I will be running for a different charity every day. At the end of the year - my 20th straight year of running every day - I'd like to donate $20 to each charity. Simple in concept, a devil in the details! To coincide with my donation I'd like others to donate as well with a tally being shown with the pledge counters. Actual donations can be made through the charity's website or through Facebook Causes which will rotate beneficiaries daily.

For those that like to follow the multi-day trans-con, AT trail, 50-50-50 type events, this should occupy some of your time over the year. I'll be posting mileage, routes, photos, video, and some Web 2.0 entries into Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and the like. I hope the charities get some exposure and despite the grim economic times people will at least learn more about these helpful organizations and entities.
