fifty miles = 80.4672 kilometers

Yup. That is an astounding number of steps to run.

Yet our very own Scott Arrington is doing it tomorrow in the JFK 50.

More importantly, he is doing it for the kids. That’s right, he is running to raise money so that aspiring underprivileged youth soccer players get a chance to participate on the club level.

And he is so close to the finish line! Just a few steps away from his goal. If you could help out, please consider making a donation online.

Who knows – without your help the next Devon McTavish, Marc Burch, Clyde Simms or even Eddie Pope may never get a chance. So help push him over the finish line!
