PRUDHOE BAY, Alaska (PRWEB) June 17, 2019
“I am doing something that everyone said couldn’t be done, and I'm doing it despite substantial health challenges to show others that nothing has to stand in your way of forward motion in life.” Helene said.
Without a roadside crew, all alone on the highways of America, surviving on whatever was in her backpack on a particular day, Helene ran where others said not to: major cities, desolate areas void of people, treacherous terrain, and places with unpredictable horrific weather conditions. Despite suffering cancer, broken bones, an attempted assault and abduction, financial hardships, and the deaths of two family members, she continued running to show others that nothing should stand in their way of achieving their goals and dreams.
Helene goes the distance to demonstrate to those needing hope and inspiration what’s physically and mentally possible despite all odds. Helene’s run is about humanitarianism and athleticism. While running, the beautiful display of humanity Helene encountered kept her going and she also found a deeper love for her country and its people. “What if we reach out and celebrate each other’s strengths, rather than weaknesses?” Helene said.
Helene has left a trail of rocks alongside her path marked with the names of people who have donated to support her run in the final state of Alaska.
Helene also pushed her limits beyond comprehension, by being the first person to run the Las Vegas Strip back and forth for 35 hours, covering 135 miles. She then became the first person in history to run up and down the Philadelphia Art Museum steps, (the infamous “Rocky Steps” for a total of 16 miles) beating the prior recorded distance of 7 miles.
