365 days. 1100 miles. $93,000+. And countless running shoes. That’s how Run For One Planet measured this past year.
Matt Hill and Steph Tait have finally returned after a year of running a marathon a day around North America, raising awareness of how to live a more sustainable life.
It honestly seems like yesterday when we were planning their Barn Burner fundraiser. Everyone was so excited, Matt and Steph were full of energy, and we were pumped for the tour to begin.
Yesterday, their official homecoming, was just like when they left. Matt and Steph looked so strong and were in the same high spirits as when they left a year ago. As many reporters would note, they were down right chipper! Steph told me the last marathon in Vancouver was the easiest one because they knew the street names and had tons of great people running with them. Always an easy way to stay chipper!
Steph (sis) and I went down to welcome them home at EP!C and finally get an insider look at this eco-RV we had heard so much about. It was great to see their smiling faces and hear that May 8th is officially Run For One Planet Day in Vancouver. Truly amazing!
Hill and Tait, you have inspired thousands of “pint-sized eco-warriors” on your school visits and many more keg-sized ones throughout your journey. You truly demonstrated the power of a big dream, strong determination, and the belief that everyone can make a difference. You should be SO proud of yourselves. I know I am!
Congrats and welcome home!
