Triathlete & Ultrarunner Needs Help in Little Rock

Marianne DeMarco, project manager for an event called Running Hope Through America (www.runhope.com) is asking for help. Lisa Smith Batchen, an ultra-runner and triathlete, will attempt to become the first person to run 50 miles in each of the 50 states -- she'll do this within 62 days -- to raise money for orphans in Haiti, the US, Ethiopia and India. It's becoming quite a bit bigger than originally planned thanks to upcoming interviews on Good Morning America and the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. Because of this, they need a little more help than they currently have....they have a volunteer or volunteers to help out in each state, but haven't been able to locate anyone to help in Little Rock. If anyone can led them a hand, or know of someone else who might be willing, please call Marianne at 917-519-6730. They simply need someone to help find a route -- preferably a loop between 1 and 5 mile,s that is safe and flat. Lisa will be running in Little Rock on Friday, May 14th.
