Run For One Planet: Runners embark on a 11,000 mile journey for environmental awareness
My name is Matt and I am currently running across Canada and around the perimeter of America with my partner in crime, Steph, to inspire action for a healthier planet. We are called Run For One Planet.
Our 11,000 mile (17,700km) run journey began May 4th, 2008. We have 8 weeks remaining, spoken to about 16,000 elementary school kids, gone through 10 pairs of running shoes and will have ran about 212 marathons each (slowly) when we complete our marathons for a healthier Earth back home in Vancouver on Friday, May 8th 2009 at the Epic Expo.
We will be sharing some of the great stories that we encounter on the rest of our trip, right here on www.odemagazine.com.
