Here’s a REAL news story for you, America!
From Fox News Online…
HIGHLAND, Utah �?? Jordan Maxwell ran the equivalent of nearly three marathons in 24 hours so poor people can get food.
The 17-year-old, inspired by a teacher at Lone Peak High School, ran all day and night Thursday. By 3 p.m., he’d pounded out 50 miles; by 8 p.m., 65.
And when he finally stopped, as Thursday turned to Friday, Maxwell had logged about 74 miles.
“I’m pretty beat,” he said with about four hours to go. “You look at that mountain and you don’t think you’ve moved at all.”
With temperatures in the high 80s, Maxwell ran the roads of Utah County to raise money for the Utah Food Bank, occasionally stopping for food and water.
He and his friends were hoping they could raise several thousand dollars but were expecting a smaller amount.
“Next year will be better. People will get inspired,” Chelsi Brunt said from Maxwell’s support van.
Maxwell’s mother, Christie Alger, regularly checked on him and brought fresh supplies.
“I’m so proud of him,” she said.
Mrs. Christie Alger, you should be proud of him! That is one fine man you are raising there in your son Jordan Maxwell. He is yet another example of what is RIGHT about America. A young man seeing a need and trying his damnedest to make a difference.
Americans are the most generous people on the planet. It is the giving spirit in America that keeps the number of starvation and exposure deaths to such a low number in our Nation. Not government spending, despite what the Liberals want us to think. It is young men like Jordan Maxwell that make a difference.
Son, The Bull salutes you!
Bull, out.
