The guy in the middle is Mike Bissell, a coworker of mine at the running store. He's running 100 miles on a treadmill to help raise money for Southeastern Diabetes Education Services, which enriches the lives of children with diabetes. If you knew Mike, this whole thing would make a lot more sense.
The event starts Friday morning at 9:00 and will last roughly 24 hours. My shift is from 10 Friday night to 6 Saturday morning. It'll be like standing midwatch in the Navy. Ah-- memories.
It's a cause that's that's near to my heart, since obesity and diabetes are closely linked, and the store I work at tries to promote health and fitness.
Folks will have the chance to run with Mike for a donation. A lot of businesses, restaurants, and shoe companies will be a part of it-- donating food, coffee, etc. A local radio station will be there to talk to Mike. There will be a lot going on. I'm sure I'll run a little bit with Michael-- I just haven't figured out when.
So it'll be a pretty big thing.

We're over 30% of the way to the goal, and Mike hasn't even taken a step. Every nickel helps.
