Volunteers and Sponsors Getting Creative
Here's what Juli from Wisconsin did:
"Well I did it! I ran 100 miles in 25 hours. It was an awesome, epic experience and whenever I got tired or discouraged I just thought of all the horses I was running for. This motivated me again and again and got me through the discomfort, the fatigue and the doubt.
I knew that each step I took was one step closer to helping another horse be rescued. What was awesome is all the runners I met who once I told them about my goal also pledged to sponsor me.
At one moment about 2:00 am I stood in a meadow surrounded by ponds with frogs as loud as a symphony. I turned off my headlamp and looked up to the heavens and there must have been a trillion stars shining with the moon and the Milky Way so bright. It was as if each of those stars represented every horse past, present and future and I felt as though they were all looking down on me an giving me their blessing. I was 80 miles into the run at that point and I knew I could make the last twenty under that blanket of divine horse energy.
Thank you to each and every one of you who pledged your support." ...excerpt from a note from Juli
