Pat Farmer (Photo: Pole to Pole Run)
Close your eyes. Imagine what it would feel like to run a marathon.� Now imagine that you?ve run not just one marathon, but two marathons in a single day. Seems crazy. Now imagine you?ve run two marathons in a day, every day, for 10 months straight without a day off!
Meet Pat Farmer.� He?s an ultramarathoner from Australia who is in the process of running from the North Pole to the South Pole. He covers 50 miles a day, except when he is using snow shoes near the poles. He only manages 16 miles a day in snow shoes.
Unfortunately, Farmer isn?t as good at attracting attention as he is at running.� He is doing the run to raise money for the International Red Cross. His fundraising goal before he started was $100 million, he?s almost done with the adventure and only $100,000 has been donated.
