Invisible Children Supporter Spotlight
The end of October marked the end of my first full year of donating a dollar per mile run. I got a nice surprise towards the end of the month I received an email from the charity Invisible Children, the charity I selected for the month of July thanking me for my donation and letting me know they like to get to know their supporters. I sent them my story and a few emails later they added a supporter spotlight post to their blog about me. The post was just the motivation that I need to keep pushing on.

I completed October with 130 miles. Not too bad considering it was on the heels of my 50-miler in September. I also got in 45 miles of cycling which was a nice change of pace. Our charity for October was the Komen foundation in recognition of breast cancer awareness month.

As I arrived back in reality this past Tuesday, I quickly learned about the typhoon that hit the Philippines. I decided to do a pre-donation to help out. I am 55 miles into a 150 mile month and will not be missing my numbers.
