What would you consider a man who runs 52 miles in just a matter of hours? Personally, I'd call him crazy. However, the reason for running the 52 miles, I'll call it inspirational.
Mark Hammer, of Roanoke, VA, has watched many of his relatives suffer from Type 2 Diabetes. Because of this, Mr. Hammer decided to involve himself in the Break Out of Diabetes challenge to run 1 additional mile every weekend of the year. Due to this past weekend being the 52nd of the year, Mr. Hammer completed his challenge by running 52 miles! He also plans on starting up another challenge for 2013 and possibly will write a book!
Way to go, Mark Hammer! You can view his interview here.
