Day 7 of the countdown; just 3 days left!

Would you ever do something crazy to raise money for charity? Like run a marathon? How about running two marathons straight? That’s what Marlins President David Samson is doing next Friday to raise money for 10 featured charities and to honor the workers who helped build Marlins Park.

Day 7 of the countdown, with just THREE days until Friday’s run, today’s featured cause is the ALS Recovery Fund, an organization committed to creating public awareness, promoting research and education, and raising funds for patient care and research in order to find a cure for this life threatening disease.

David will run miles 15-20 of the 52.5 mile run in honor of this charity and will be joined for this stretch by Jose Perez, Albert Perez & Allen Popowitz. Jose G. and Albert J. Perez have been raising money for the ALS Recovery Fund since 1997. After losing their father to ALS in 2001, they have continued their efforts and have raised over $3.3 million dollars for ALS Research. Popowitz serves on the Board of Directors for the ALS Association of the Greater New York Chapter and has run five marathons: four New York City Marathons and the latest was the 2009 Boston Marathon.
 
It is in the very same spirit of proving the unlikely can be done, that David running a double marathon. Show your support for those who believe obstacles can be overcome given commitment!
