$8,395 in 14 hours 49 minutes 35 seconds and 193.30 miles!
PRN’s charity runners/walkers at the 2018 Illinois Marathon raised $8,395 for clean water. The money they raised will:
- Save wetlands and wildlife by reconnecting rivers to their natural floodplains. Wetlands provide critical wildlife corridors that will be essential to wildlife if they are to survive and adapt to a changing climate.
- Keep toxic coal ash out of our water by advocating for the strongest coal ash rules possible and demanding polluters clean up and remove coal ash dumps near our rivers.
- Help farmers be better stewards of the land by advancing sustainable farming practices to reduce one of the biggest contributors to water pollution – runoff from agriculture fields.
A big thank you to our charity runners/walkers
