So today it begins and we're very excited for him!! 
This is the first day for Mark Allison on his journey, 3,100 miles from coast to coast, Pacific to Atlantic, California to New York, all on foot! 
Mark Allison – aka Run Geordie Run – Will be starting this morning at 9:00 am from Huntington Beach on his opening 32 mile leg of his astonishing quest, raising funds for good causes in the UK, making new friends and connections with each and every step.
His mascot and lucky-charm, Chara (our OM), will be alongside him and we are looking forward to charting Mark's progress as he makes his way across the United States, getting ever closer to home and his ambitious fundraising target.
You can follow Mark's progress here on our facebook page or our blog atwww.allconnectedblog.wordpress.com, as well at rungeordierun.com – the home of his excellent blog, which has full details of how to make a donation or send a message of support, and he deserves all the support he can get! So don't be shy and send the man a message! 
Here in Rhode Island, we're all wishing Mark the very, VERY best on his long road ahead. 
MARK ALLISON, YOU'RE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS - AND WE WISH YOU A SAFE AND AMAZING JOURNEY ACROSS THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY! 
WISHING YOU THE BEST OF LUCK, FROM ALL OF US HERE IN RI!
