A few more hundred miles under my belt, my travel arrangements to New York City set and a cortisone shot in my knee means it’s almost go time.
Yesterday marked the official “it’s getting really close day.” I received my bib number and starting position – wave one/corral one, which I think is good – yesterday from the New York City Marathon. There is no turning back now, even with a bum knee. In 11 days I’ll toe the start line of the New York City Marathon. In 11 days I’ll hopefully cross that finish line. In 11 days my marathon for world hunger end.
Together, with me doing the running and you all doing the giving, we’ve fed hungry people in this world 3040 meals. That’s 3040 times someone didn’t go hungry – 3040 lives possibly saved.
A big thanks to all who have donated so far. It’s an amazing feeling to have family and friends supporting me and the cause I believe so deeply in.
And while 3040 meals feeds many people, we can feed more.
This past week marked World Food Day on Friday, the giving of the World Food prize for agricultural innovation aiding to solving world hunger and the completion of the toughest part of my training. I think all deserve celebration.
And what better way to celebrate? How about helping me in a final push to raise even more money for Friends of the World Food Program and feeding even more people. The deal still stands – I’ll do the running, you do the giving.
The link below takes you to my donation page. Give what you can.
Join me in my final push for the marathon and fighting world hunger.
A big many thanks to all,
Evan Jurkovich
