I created this gofund me to see if I’m able to recuperate some of the funding I had saved up for my Run Across America. I had to rush my dog to the ER pet hospital on March 4th and was hospitalized for 3 days. I used up $7000 of what I’ve been saving up for my transcon on the medical bill. My pup didn’t make it but I don’t regret it using any of that funding on him. I would have given up everything to save him and bring him back home.

i didn’t want to delay my run any further so depending on how this fundraising goes for now I’ll be doing the first half (1,500 miles) on my own without a follow vehicle or crew. I don’t want to delay or push my run further back. I’ve been ready to start since January. I’m okay doing it alone again it doesn’t bother me. I still have some funding saved up so my plan is to use that to help on the second half of the 3,000 mile stretch. Once I reach half way point Kansas/Oklahoma I’ll have someone come out with the follow vehicle to help crew me the rest of the way.

If I manage to hit my funding goal I might be able to have my crew and follow vehicle to start off with me and be there the entire way. I’ve been excited to get back out there and take up on that challange once again. The challenge still stands to finish my run across America in under 50 days. Looking to start next week of the following week. I just need to pick up some gear to help me out with the first solo half. I will keep you guys updated as I get ready to set sail on my 3rd Run Across the Country from New York City to Los Angeles California. This entire run was self funded so anything helps.

thank you,
