$50 for 50 miles

Donation protected
Katherine Portillo needs to earn / fundraise 100.000 dollars per year to cover the 24/7 caregiver care she needs. 

32.000 dollars is contributed by the VA / IHSS and other state and federal sources but 100.000 dollars is unaccounted for, every year!

Jon Geerts, a proud service member (Air Force) will attempt to run 50 miles in one run. He will donate 50$ dollars per month Jan-May and he challenges YOU to donate the same or donate what you can.

We have set the goal to 5000$ and we fill follow Jons journey, from start to finish. Will he be able to run 50 miles?

Jon says:
"On 22 June 2019, I will be competing in my first 50 Mile (80.4 Km) running race at the Oregon Old Cascadia in Blue River, Oregon.

I am pairing this effort with a fundraising drive called “$50 for 50 Miles” for Maj Katherine Portillo (USAF, ret) is a former competitive triathlete and pro card body builder, she continues to mentor and inspire the next generation of military and civilian leaders with her never quit attitude.

Kat and Pavel are some of the most wonderful people you will ever get a chance to meet, so I am happy to contribute whatever I can.
We had a tremendous turnout at our Body Armor fundraiser workout in November, raising over $3000, enough to cover 210 nursing hours for Kat. The team’s goal for this 50 Miler will be to raise $5000 under the project title “$50 for 50 Miles”...

I will personally donate $50 on the 22nd of each month until race day on 22 June. My hope is for others to help out to whatever extent they can, whether that is a monetary donation or simply helping to spread the word. I will also post short monthly updates from now until June with my training progress and the many valuable lessons learned"
