Two men from the Quad Cities running one hundred miles, inspired by a courageous eight year old girl from Bettendorf. Last month, John Byrne and Rick Fountain ran the Leadville One Hundred in Colorado. The two athletes put themselves to the ultimate test. The goal: complete the so called "Race Across The Sky" in thirty hours or less.
The two men were also running for Charly Erpelding. She is the eight year old girl from Hoover Elementary School in Bettendorf, battling bone cancer.
John Byrne visited Charly's classmates earlier this week, encouraging them to continue to cheer for Charly. Charly had surgery about three weeks ago, and her dad says the prognosis for his daughter's recovery is good. Andy Erpelding says as of right now, it appears that all of the cancer is out of her body.
Byrne and Fountain tackled rugged terrain, ran up and down a section of the Colorado Rockies, and finished the race in about twenty seven hours. They also helped to raise about ten thousand dollars to help offset some of Charly's medical expenses.
John Byrne says the race was the hardest thing he has ever done. Eight hundred people started the race and about three hundred fifty finished. Among the finishers, two men from the Quad Cities, who along with so many other people, are Cheerin For Charly.
