Run For Lisa King

Donation protected


On January 8th, 2014 I lost my mother, Lisa King, to suicide.  A few months after that I also lost my best friend in a similar situation.  Even before these things happened I used running to help myself deal with problems in life.  After these tragedies however, I felt a need to try to use my running to help others.  I decided to start a personal campaing for The American Foundation for Suicide prevention.  I intend to run 6 marathons a week across the United States on the northern portion of The American Discovery Trail which covers 4,803 miles from Delaware to California.  I will be starting this run on March 28th 2016 and hopefully be finished the end of October.   Any donations here will go to food, running shoes, an RV for the trip and gas money.  Any help funding this trip would be greatly appreciated and would help the millions of people who's lives have been affected by suicide and mental illness.  Help me transform the atmosphere of shame and guilt that surrounds mental illness to one of love and compassion.  Follow my run on my website runforlisaking.org.
