Running Across America

On June 30, 2013, Jeffrey Fazio set out on a mission to run a 5K in all 50 States in 1 year in honor of a colleague, Dee Gerber, who has Muscular Dystrophy, and others who can't run. As a leadership educator, he conscientiously gleaned life lessons from each state. There is a lot to be learned running around the country. It was an amazing journey that resulted in the founding of the non-profit 4D Mission and has dozens of runners around the country running for those who can't. This book describes over 50 examples of leadership, while detailing the individual 5K races accomplished, interesting sights seen while traveling the entire United States, and the amazing people who became part of the journey. This story appeals to those looking to improve their leadership skills, enjoy running, traveling, and helping others. Everyone can find inspiration in this unique story that exemplifies what can be accomplished in a single trip around the Sun.
