“I’ve always looked at running as somewhat selfish. I guess and something you do by yourself and you’re only looking at the next run have.”
Tom Yorke’s next run won’t be for himself, it will be for his wife Deanna and his sister Melissa — and it won’t be just one run.
“I’m going to run 6 marathons in 6 days,” Yorke said.
Yorke was selected for the MS Run The US. The cross country race is to raise money and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis.
Yorke has a unique perspective.
“I’ve been connected to the MS community since my sister was diagnosed 14 years ago,” said Yorke. “We’ve been doing walks and rides and my wife went from my sisters number one fan to her partner when she was diagnosed 9 years ago.”
