Great Geezer Run for Diabetes

Zane Hodge, long-time supporter of the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi, is planning to run from his home in Greenwood to the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi's office in Ridgeland as a personal challenge and fundraiser. 10 years ago, he began the Chicot Challenge, and in 2016 swam a continuous 23 miles with the names of the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi's Kandu Kids sharpied onto him for inspiration.

Barring injury, he plans to run about 107 miles over 5 days. That's a bit over 4 marathons from May 6 to 10. D-Families along Highway 430 and 51 need to come out and give him some moral support. He will be passing through Blackhawk, Vaiden, West, Durant, Goodman, Pickens, Canton, Gluckstadt, Madison, and Ridgeland. Click image for more info or to support Zane.
