Freedom Run Author Celebrates Historic Cross-Country Benefit Run
Baltimore, MD — July 1, 2013 — One year ago, Jamie Summerlin, a former Marine, finished his 3,452-mile run across the U.S. in support of U.S. veterans. Over his 100-day run, he raised $50,000 for veteran-focused charities, including the Wounded Warrior Project and Operation Welcome Home.
On Saturday, July 13, 2013, Holabird Sports and Jamie Summerlin celebrate the one-year anniversary of his historic run and the publication of his new book: Freedom Run. Beginning at 11:30 a.m., Summerlin will read, sign copies, and answer questions about Freedom Run—an intimate account of both the hardships of his run and the heartfelt stories of veterans he met along the way. A portion of the book's proceeds will benefit charities that serve U.S. veterans.
