On January 8th, 2014 I lost my mother, Lisa King, to suicide. A few months later I lost a great friend In a similar situation. Dealing with those losses has been difficult and as usual I turned to running to help get through the hard times. A couple months ago I decided that I wanted to find a way where running all those miles could help somebody other than myself. Next year I plan on running across the country on the northern portion of the American Discovery Trail from Delaware to California to raise money and awareness for suicide prevention. The trail covers 4,803 miles and my goal is to average about 180 miles a week. I will be leaving on March 28th, 2016 and hopefully be finished by October 5th.
