Running for Recovery : Sri Lanka
Donation protected
My name is Walter Bortman. I am 39 and reside in Long Beach, CA.
In conjunction with Runwell, a non-profit raising awareness and funding to help drug addiction - I have been invited to run "Racing the Planet : Sri Lanka 2016" - a 6 stage, 7 day, 150 mile Ultramarathon.
Drug addiction had dominated the majority of my adult life. On Thanksgiving 2013, from a jail cell on drug possession charges - I made a decision to change my life.
In the last 20 months I have stayed clean, sober and started running. I have ran 19 races including obstacle races, two half marathons, three full marathons and a 50K Ultramarathon.
My goal is simple. I want to participate in the Sri Lanka Race to show others suffering from addiction and those in early recovery that anything is possible. The life beyond your wildest dreams is within reach.
All money donated will go directly to race registration, airfare and equipment. Anything collected beyond the goal will be directed to the Runwell Charity to aid in those seeking treatment.
