See Dane Run
In 2006, Dane Rauschenberg went from a relative novice in marathon running to one of the more recognized names in the sport. While working a full-time job in the greater Washington D.C. area, Dane ran 52 consecutive weekly marathons, starting with the first weekend in January and going until December 31st. In addition, he also raised over $44,000 for the Mobile, Alabama chapter of L'Arche, an organization which benefits the developmentally disabled, and did all of this out of his own pocket with no corporate sponsors. If that was not enough, Dane did more than just complete those marathons he competed in them - averaging a 3:21 for each race. Running his fastest time of the year in his 42nd marathon (a 2:59 - which broke a personal best at the time), Dane showed that he lives by his own words that everyone should give their all regardless of what that all may be.
