Mark is hoping to end his run this morning (yes, he was running all night) in front of the Vet's Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. His last update was 8 hours ago, "112 miles done!"

Please help him to achieve his financial goal, as he is approx. $1,400 from raising $15,000 for the Special Ops Warriors, which is a very deserving cause, especially on Veteran's Day. Please help to spread the word and do a very good deed. Happy Remembrance Day in honor of all of the Veterans out there, and thanks, everyone!! :)
***An update at 10 am from a friend of his states that
Mark has only 11 more miles to go to complete his 150 miles. GO MARK!!! B|

Mark Kirkby completed his 150 miles at 3 pm today - 11/11/11. Mark's last post update states:

"It was a grueling 48 hours, but I did it! Arrived at 1500 at VA. Happy Veterans Day! A big thanks to all the soldiers out there for everything that they do!"

***Congratulations to Mark for running 150 miles and for the awesome fundraising!! Inspiring doesn't even begin to describe this. If anyone wants to contribute to the Special Ops Warriors fundraising (see link in 1st post), that would be a fantastic gesture. Again, thanks to ALL who have served! :)
