Marathon for Loaves and Fishes

I'm running to raise money for our local branch of Loaves and Fishes.  Mecklenburg County in Charlotte, North Carolina has just under 1,200 cases of Covid-19 as well as 24 deaths, more than twice as many cases and deaths as any other county in the state. One of the organizations working to provide relief to people suffering a loss of income due to the virus, is Loaves and Fishes. Loaves and Fishes is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide groceries to people in need. They need our help more than ever. They have closed their establishments and are working through mobile pantries to bring food to people. I’ve decided to use some of my skills to help raise money and awareness to this issue. I have been a runner all of my life. I’ve competed for my school’s cross country and track teams, and have been racing in competitions since I was young, but I’ve never run a marathon before. I decided that on Tuesday April 21st through Wednesday 22nd I will be running a different type of marathon, by running one mile every hour for 26 hours straight to raise money to support Loaves and Fishes. I will start my run on Tuesday afternoon after online classes end, run every hour through the night and into Wednesday, completing my run on Wednesday afternoon.  Please support me in my fundraising goal of $5,000.  I really appreciate your support, and thank you!
