Send Brett Almasi running around the world
Donation protected
My name is Angela Ayala, and I am attempting to help a good friend achieve his dream of running all six Abbott World Marathon Majors. I have loved running most of my life but can no longer physically do it, so I have been living my running life vicariously through Brett.
Here is a little about Brett in his own words:
Greetings everyone. My name is Brett Almasi, and I am pursuing my goal of running the six Abbott World Marathon Majors, which include Boston, Chicago, New York City, London, Tokyo, and Berlin. With Boston and Chicago under my belt, I have four remaining, including the Berlin Marathon, set for September 2024.
For the last 17 years, I have been a Global Studies and American Studies teacher at Foxcroft Academy, located in the small town of Dover-Foxcroft, ME. Teaching these courses has
inspired and motivated me to dedicate myself to running around the world. The ultimate goal of running the six marathon majors is a personal goal and a chance to explore other parts of the world and incorporate what I have experienced and learned from new cultures into my classroom.
Running marathons is an expensive and extensive activity, which becomes more financially difficult when you are a teacher. The money I am attempting to raise will cover travel expenses, including flights, hotels, food, transportation, race fees, etc. I not only want to run these races, but I also want to achieve my personal best in each of these remaining marathons. My dedication to training has me training nine months out of the year, including grueling Maine
winters. I am passionate about running, teaching about other cultures, and seeing the world. By running these marathons, I can achieve all three. Thank you for your consideration and
donation.
