You may recall that I did a coaching session about a month ago with Mike Brooks about charitable running and how to raise money for non-profits. Today at noon, Mike is beginning his latest endurance event, the Sri-Chinmoy Self-Transcendence Run.
Over the next 10 days, Mike is going to attempt to run 500 miles.
Every day, Mike will be calling me and letting me know how he is doing and what sort of progress he is making, and I will be posting those calls here on the blog so that you can listen to them.
He has received about $3000 in donations so far and I believe that he has another $3000 in pledges if he runs for the entire 500 miles. (I’ve pledged 20 cents per mile.)
If you are interested in helping Mike out, then you can make a donation to Camp Sunshine through his website, TenDaysForSunshine.org or you can mail a donation directly to: Camp Sunshine,35 Acadia RD.,Casco,ME 04015.

Hello,
I’m working on a profile on Mike Brooks, who recently ran a 10-day, 500-mile race for Camp Sunshine. My editor, Lesley Suppes, and I are trying to track down a high resolution (1-5 MB) photo to run with the story. Would you have any on file that you could send our way? Please let me know at your earliest convenience.
Thanks,
Dan
