As I mentioned in my last post, Waynesburg University has put together a press release about our run (click here to read it!). A huge thanks goes out to Pam and Vikki at WU for getting this together. Their enthusiasm has given us a much-needed dose of motivation.
Our next step is to get the word out to newspapers and media in the towns along our route. If you know of any media outlet that might be interested in our little adventure, let us know (crossingPA@gmail.com).
In other news, we've been getting a great response from people and organizations that have offered all kinds of supplies for our run: from energy bars to first aid supplies to reflective clothing (safety first!). Expect the "our supporters" page to be updated in the near future, once we sort out the responses that we've received.

It's starting to come together...
Hey everyone,
It's been a busy week for us as we've started to get the word out about our run, and the response has been really positive. There's a lot of stuff in the works, but we don't have much to show for it yet.
Our friends at Waynesburg University are working on putting out a press release for us, so we're pretty excited about that. We'll be sure to link to that as soon as it goes out.
Lodging is also starting to work itself out, as we have at least a tentative place to stay in 6 of the 10 towns where we plan to sleep. We're still looking for a place to sleep in the following towns:
Last but not least, thanks to Map My Run (a free site that lets you map your routes, view route elevation, and keep track of your workouts, among other cool stuff), we have an elevation profile of our route. As it turns out, Pennsylvania is not flat.

Yikes. I'm certainly looking forward to Day 7, when we can say that the worst of the run is behind us.
That's all I have for now. Hopefully I'll be posting more often in the near future as we finalize more details. Thanks for reading!

Hello, World!
Hello and welcome to our little home on the web. In case you haven't heard about us yet, here's a brief summary: we're three 20-somethings who arbitrarily decided to run across the state of Pennsylvania to raise money and awareness for our charities.
Hopefully we'll be updating this site regularly as we finalize more details and get the word out to more people. Feel free to explore the site to find out more about us, the charities that we're running for, and where we'll be running.
Stay tuned for more details!
