October 18, 2009 - San Francisco
It all started with this marathon I (Jane Hammer) am running in San Francisco.
When I run, I think a lot about Jared and how far he's come. So, I thought why couldn’t my running help a very worthy cause, create awareness and raise a little money. Simply put - I run 26.2 miles... you help out children and a foundation greatly in need of funding. A great way to do this is to give one dollar for every mile or $26.20.
Then I got to thinking that maybe people could sponsor each mile of the marathon and that last mile would be 'Jared's Mile'. And that got me to thinking that why can't most people be a virtual part of that 'victory mile' for Jared.... a coming together from across the country for a common cause.
And that's how Jared's Mile came about.
