Much has happened since our last post. I know, I know, we sort of left you hanging in Ethiopia for about half a year. However, it being the last real day of Christmas break I thought people might ap ...

This is Matt’s mom posting for the guys. Matt and Brandon both called home today for our first communication with them since Tuesday. I missed Matt’s phone call, but Sherry Newlin did talk to Br ...

Well, we are several thousand miles away from home, but we're not in Ethiopia yet. Brandon and I are still in transit, along with a fellow member of the Water For Children Africa team named Caiel. W ...

Well, a couple of new things have been happening in the world of Run Across The USA. First of all, all of the funds raised for the trip were delivered safely to Water for Children Africa. There was ...

Well, I think we finally have all the pictures now. I separated them by day, whic means that all the pictures of the actual finish at the ocean are in this folder: http://www.runacrosstheusa.com/ima ...
