Most of us just complain or worry when things aren’t going the way we would like them to – Dan Zimerman decided to take things into his own hands..or his own legs as it were. The political climate in the US was bothering Zimerman, and he started the Liberty 100. This is a 100-mile run from Ellis Island Bridge to Constitution Hall in Philadelphia.
He wants the run to represent the fact that the country was founded by immigrants and that we all have constitutional rights. Zimerman will start his run on August 9, his 54th birthday. He’ll complete the run by himself, but others plan to join in for parts of the course and to offer water along the way.
He expects the run to take about 24 hours and has set up a donation page on the American Civil Liberties Union website with funds intended to help humanitarian efforts at the border.
