Move with a Purpose: Emerald Isle

Ben and his friend, Phillip, will be running this Saturday in Emerald Isle. This is not the first time that they have paired up! Ben would like to raise money for the Crystal Coast Autism Center. Please check out what he said about it.........

So about 4.5 weeks ago, my buddy Phillip Richards asked if I was Interested in running the Emerald Isle marathon with him.  Since I had only had runs of up to 8 miles to that point, I felt like maybe I wouldnt be ready for a marathon.  Two things changed my mind.  First, this will likely be our last run (race) together for a long time....he's moving to Japan (Marine life).  Secondly, the race benefits the Crystal Coast Autism Center.  I have several friends that deal with this condition in their families.  These two things fit perfectly with what Move Move with a purposeeffort is all about.  If you are so inclined, go to http://ccautismcenter.org to make a donation for this charity.

The run is this weekend.  Ill let you know how it goes.
