A St. Petersburg woman just accomplished one of the most impressive physical feats of any who have called the Sunshine City home. KellyAnn Jenkins ran seven marathons on seven continents in seven days, an achievement she completed this month after years of planning and preparation.

For seven straight days, the marathoner traversed all seven continents, doing little more than run, eat, travel, and sleep when possible. She ran marathons at midnight and midday; she ran in the oppressive heat of the Australian summer and up and down the hills of Spain; she ran on a balmy Brazilian morning and on a beautiful evening in Dubai. 

However, the most challenging – and perhaps most memorable – isn’t hard to imagine as one works down the list of the Earth’s seven continents: a morning marathon through a snowstorm in Antarctica.

To make the trek even more special, KellyAnn's marathon running is helping to raise funds for the mshappensfoundation, a non-profit she established in honor of her sister who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2020. 

KellyAnn started the MS Happens Foundation after talks with several doctors, patients, and families of those living with MS. She discovered a largely unmet need for direct assistance, and now, funds raised by MS Happens go straight to patients and their families to help cover excess medical bills, transportation services, and even just the little things that are needed around the house.
