Why

Stay Awake Run Treadmill Challenge

Help the Greater Omaha Area Trail-runners (G.O.A.T.z) support one of our own, Larry Kelley as he raises money for MS Run the US. Larry has signed on to run not one, but two segments of the MS Run the US relay for a total of 260 miles.

The MS Run the US – 2013 Relay will begin in Los Angeles, CA and finish in New York, NY. Twenty-two (22) runners will be selected to each run the equivalent of a marathon per day for six days during their assigned segment. The entirety of the Relay will span from April, 15th, 2013 to September 17th, 2013 in an effort to raise $500,000 to help cure multiple sclerosis. (www.msruntheus.com)

Larry has pledged to raise $10,000 toward the $500,000 and we want to help him reach that goal.

We are holding an honors system treadmill challenge on January 25-26. For $15 (individual) $30 (tag team – for couples with one treadmill) you get the opportunity to support not only Larry, but help raise funds supporting Multiple Sclerosis research.

One hundred percent of the money raised from the treadmill challenge will go directly to Larry’s MS Run the US, First Giving account. Read more about Larry here:
