The Great Race Begins. 7-7-7. Follow Along.

By Ray Glier

Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. EST, Len Forkas, 67, will begin his 183-mile trek: 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents. Len starts in South Africa, not Antarctica as planned because of extreme weather at the South Pole. The allure of this adventure, for me, is how Len adapts when things go sideways. He hasn't even started and things have gone sideways.

Please follow along with this link. It is all to fund the fight against childhood cancer.

Here is the story I did on Forkas last month.
