Running lawyer tackles 2 for Team Reeve

Manchester, NH lawyer Ron Abramson will join three other Team Reeve members attempting to run two full marathons on opposite coasts within six days to raise funds for the Foundation.

As part of the “Boston 2 Big Sur” challenge, Abramson will tackle the historic Boston Marathon course on April 19 before traveling to Monterey, California for the Big Sur International Marathon on April 25.

"At its essence, distance running is about celebrating freedom of movement, so it seems natural to run on behalf of those who are fighting to regain their ability to move freely," said Abramson.

Despite a training schedule that tops 80 miles per week, the Boston 2 Big Sur run represents the first time that Abramson will run two full marathons in less than a week. "It took me four marathons over 18 months to qualify for Boston. The thought of doing two marathons just six days apart is pretty intimidating," Abramson observed.

Abramson hopes to raise $5,000.00 for the Foundation. You can help him right now!
