Running Solo-Unsupported Across America For Haiti Relief

Americans have been inundated with images and stories coming out of Haiti amidst the devastation. People are constantly wondering what they can do to help. One man has found his solution! On February 15, Abe Clark is attempting to run over 2800 miles solo and unsupported across the United States. If he is successful, he will join the ranks of only a small handful of individuals who have made this ocean to ocean run.

Abe is trying to raise $100,000 and spread awareness for Living Water International’s goal of repairing 500 incapacitated handpumps in Haiti during 2010. These handpumps are crucial to providing one of the basic neccesities of life and achieving their goal could provide drinking water for at least 250,000 people.

He plans to push a baby jogger in which to carry all of his supplies.

When we asked him how people could help out, this is what he had to say:

1. Donate to LWI to help him reach his goal of raising $100,000. There is a donate button on his site www.runningwater.cc

2. He is looking for places to speak along the way about the run, dreams, goals and LWI.

3. People can check out his route and if he happens to be coming your way…”they can house me, feed me and send me off again! People are also welcome to come out and run with me.”

We wish Abe the best in his quest to run across America and in raising money for a very wothwhile goal.
