SC man runs 200 miles from Charleston to Columbia, raising money for kids to attend camp
COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) — Avid runner Michael Davis ran 200 miles from South Carolina’s coast to Columbia this weekend.
Davis began his run from Charleston at midnight on Friday and ended at the Waterfront Park in Columbia Sunday afternoon.
His goal? To raise $5,000 to help kids attend Young Life Christian Camp who otherwise couldn’t afford to go.
To help the journey go smoothly, Davis was escorted by the Richland County Sheriff’s Department for the Columbia portion of his trip.
“We set out with a goal of $5,000 that I thought was really ambitious. I had doubts that we would raise $5,000. But with everybody’s support, we over doubled what we set out to raise ($11,000) and that to me, means so much. I’m super proud to be a part of that, and I’m super proud of every one of you that stepped up and donated to help us,” says Davis.
