Crunch Time For Paul Staso
Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while are probably aware of the kids at Russell Elementary School in Missoula, MT. They made a virtual run across the United States. The payoff for them, aside from the health and educational value, was making their phys. ed. teacher's husband, Paul Staso run across the U.S.
Paul is slated to depart this week, and he still appears to need a lot of help with lodging. So, I'm going to try to make something happen to ease his path, and I hope you will help. For most of you, this just involves sending a few e-mails to people you know, especially those in proximity of Paul's route. (Note: using the concept of six degrees of separation, if we are smart about this, we will not limit ourselves to those in close proximity. There's a chance that someone you know will know somebody right along the route who would love the chance to offer lodging to Mr. Staso.) If any of you are near the route, then it would be great if you could step up and invite Mr. Staso into your home, and perhaps give him a meal or let him use your washer and dryer.
Mr. Staso's PACE Run website can be found here: http://www.pacerun.com/
The page listing his lodging is here: http://www.pacerun.com/route.htm (I'm unsure if the hotels/motels I'm seeing in the first couple of weeks have been donated or it they are being paid for out of the run's limited coffers, as a result, if you can offer a place to stay without charge, it may be appropriate to make the offer if a hotel is shown.)
I'm hopeful that those of us in the running and walking community (and others) can make Mr. Staso's path a bit easier. Would you please e-mail a few friends and acquantances and ask them to repeat the process until we have Mr. Staso's lodging fully taken care of. Thank you for your help.
