Running across America

Feb 12, 2013

Special / ECT Photography<br>
Talking Rock resident Jack Fussell, 62, recently set off on his cross-country run in a personal quest to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s disease. Fussell is running coast to coast — from Savannah to Monterey, Calif. The Alzheimer’s Association’s Georgia chapter recently hosted a send-off celebration for Fussell at Skidaway Island State Park in Savannah. Last week Fussell made his way to Atlanta at the association’s Georgia chapter office in Dunwoody. Fussell is running in memory of his father, whom he lost to Alzheimer’s disease in 2000. This journey is also a celebration of life for Fussell. When he was just 3 years old, Fussell was run over by a car and told he may never walk again. Just one year after his father passed away, he was diagnosed with a bleeding ulcer, his organs were shutting down, and he was told he might not survive. It was at this time that Fussell decided to turn his life around and commit to a healthy lifestyle. As a result, he lost more than 100 pounds and has been training for this trip for the last 10 years. Fussell hopes to raise $250,000. Information: visit www.acrosstheland2013.com.
