Organiser's description
"Miles for Mary" is a walk/run-a-thon at the school of the Academy of Our Lady in Glen Rock, NJ for the benefit of Mary Treuer-Del Ojo.
WHO? ... Mary Treuer-Derl Ojo is a daughter/wife/mom & triathlete who was struck by an SUV on May 13, 2023 while training for a triathlon. The collision left her with a traumatic brain injury, internal injuries, numerous bone/vertebrae fractures and a spinal cord injury. After a year nearly, Mary has recovered her cognitive abilities and is now focused on learning to walk again.
Participants are invited to come out and run on a 400 meter grass field between the hours of 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on April 20th. We will be counting the distance that everyone logs during the 4 hour window as we hope to reach the goal of running a collective distance of 140.6 mile, the distance of an Ironman triathlon. This event is free. All we ask is for athletes to encourage Mary's journey back to health by participating and to ask friends/families to consider donating to Mary's Gofundme page to help her family with the significant medical expenses.
