My good friend Tim Borland is running 63 marathons over 63 consecutive days. His wife Michelle and kids Kailey and Colton are performing the feat of living on the road for 2 months, in an RV along with Tim. And all of this for a great cause - to raise funds and awareness for a terminal genetic disease (A/T) which doesn’t have a cure today but is much closer as more and more research is done. A cure would also provide valuable insight into the mechanism of other genetic diseases. To help spread the word, the A/T children’s organization is sponsoring a contest to get website and blog mentions - do it and win a Nintendo Wii! Here is the official info.

Ultra-runner Tim Borland is running 63 marathons in 63 days in order to raise funds and awareness for the A-T Children’s Project in their quest for a cure or life-improving therapies for ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). A-T is a rare, neurodegenerative disease that affects children, giving them the combined symptoms of cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and cancer. Children with A-T — born seemingly healthy — are usually dependent upon wheelchairs by the age of 10 and often do not survive their teens.

To run with Tim, join a tailgate party, or make a donation, please visit the A-T CureTour website. There, you can also view the daily video blog produced by filmmakers who are making an independent documentary on the A-T CureTour or enter a contest to Win a Nintendo Wii.
