We are all from different countries, different backgrounds, different beliefs-; but we all need help right now. My heart goes to the many people who can not work due to shut downs or who have been laid off unexpectedly. Many families and elderly people have no income and not enough food. The hospitals are overrun and underfunded. The healthcare providers all over the word are our saviors as the number of Covid 19 cases is skyrocketing. I am an American citizen living in Thailand, entering my 20th year here. My aim is to run an ultra marathon on the roof of my condo building to raise donation money. That will be 50km in a loop that is 20-40 meters (depending on how wide I take the loop). It will take awhile.The donations received for my attempt to run 50km 33 floors above Bangkok will be divided between Thailand and the USA. They are both my home, I can not choose one over over the other. The charities I will be using are COVID Thailand Aid (providing food and necessary items to poor people impacted by the virus here in Bangkok and Heart to Heart International and connections to hospitals in NY (providing funds to purchase desperately needed medical supplies). Please, support my attempt and donate money to convince me to push this crazy idea of mine. We all need inspiration and support right now. Let's work together and feed off of each other's goodwill and kindheartedness.The only way to beat this is TOGETHER.

Join the virtual run that my buddy Gonzague set up, so that we can all run this "together."

And with that in mind, I decided it's time to do another running event to gain more publicity and unity for this fundraiser. I am thinking to do another 50km run within the next two weeks (perhaps the weekend of May 10th. I am tossing around some ideas for location/venue;. . . . .
