He Just Ran Across The Grand CanyonOct-01-2012
Do anything interesting this past weekend? Maybe fix things around the house, watch a football game, or perhaps go apple and pumpkin picking with the kids?
Wiltonian Jeff Snyder has you beat-he just ran a marathon. Across the Grand Canyon. Seriously.
And he did it in order to raise money for pediatric cancer research.
It's a cause close to his heart-Jeff's 12-year-old daughter Kennedy has a rare form of spinal cord cancer, and she's been valiantly fighting it since being diagnosed at age two. Jeff and his family formed a foundation that awards grants to scientists working in this particular area of cancer research.
