MSRC President runs Big Sur Marathon, raises money for wounded
on USNS Comfort.
Steve Benz, President of MSRC ran in the Big Sur Marathon
on April 27, 2003 and raised approximately $1,300 to benefit
the wounded men and women aboard the U.S. Naval Hospital
Ship Comfort. The funds were distributed to the The Northern
Virginia Council of the Navy League of the United States
who will purchase and distribute items such as CD players
and Gameboys for the injured. Big Sur is considered one of
the most difficult marathons to run because of the winds
and numerous steep inclines.
Steve said prior to the run, “Whenever I start feeling
sorry for myself about how tough the upcoming hills are or
about the last six miles, it will give me new energy knowing
that the ones that really have it tough are those struggling
through combat in the toughest of conditions."
Congratulations to Steve and thanks to all the people who
made donations. If you would like to help the men and women
who serve in the U.S. sea services through the Navy League
of the United States please contact Nancy Gorell, MSRC’s
Marketing & Customer Service Representative at (703)
326-5614 for more information.
