About the Project

The Big Run is a project to raise funds for spinal research. My life has been twice affected by spinal injuries through the partial paralysis of a family member and friend. This is an effort to use the 16 year-old body that I am blessed with to help those that have had their bodies taken away. The project begins on May 25, 2009 and will conclude six months and 1000 miles later on November 25, 2009. My mileage will be updated weekly on this site as will my my money earned. My sponsors are donating for each mile that I run or simply a lump sum. I am raising money through the Team Reeve All Stars program through which young athletes can gain sponsorship for their efforts. All funds will be donated to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. I invite you to follow my progress throughout this run.
