They toil every day in the shadows, sacrificing much for our country, but rarely do we hear about them unless tragedy strikes first. They deserve more America! Let’s show them how much we love and support them while they’re still happy and healthy!
If we can raise $31 for each of the 3100 miles run, we’ll be nearly at our goal. Will you sponsor a mile?”
Advocate publisher, Corinne Copelan, saw the young lady running along I-80, going west on the side of the eastbound way, monday October 27th. “It would have been dangerous to try to talk to her at that time, as I was going myself eighty miles an hour, and stoping suddenly was out of the question”. She was pushing a baby jogger in front of her, in a methodic cadanced run. Copelan thought of investigating this event later on, but an other Wendover Citizen, her friendKaren Shepherd, provided her with the answers and more. Again, this young lady’s name is Christina Lee, and she runs across America: to sponsor her you can go to the website: www.crowdrise.com/unningacrossamerica/
