Support Ryan Hall’s quest for Olympic Marathon Gold.
Join HBT Events in supporting Big Bear Lake running hero Ryan Hall's quest for 2008 Olympic Marathon gold. The Lighthouse Project
challenges you to help “Move a Million Miles” before Ryan’s Olympic
Marathon this summer in Beijing, China. Through shared pride and
support for Ryan, this spirit initiative encourages an engaged and
active lifestyle, as well as demonstrates the benefits of integrity,
commitment and involvment to our youth. Not only is this the first time
anyone has ever pledged this kind of support for an athlete, but it
also is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to personally participate in
the Olympic Dream. You can be part of this historic effort and make a
healthy difference in both your life and the lives of others.
Participation is simple, and we don’t need your money - just your
miles.

How you can support an American Hero
Get up, get out, and log your miles.
Simply log your miles each day and submit your report
each week. Miles can be from any human-powered activity such as
running, walking, hiking, biking, skating, snowshoeing, etc., and all
miles help us reach our overall goal of a Million Miles. Reporting
is easy: submit your mileage each week via phone, mail, fax, e-mail or
the website. The final day to log mileage will be Sunday, August 24,
2008.
Get others going, too.
Your optional Group Affiliation will impact more people and can be any
service organization, business, club, classroom, etc. Challenge
friends, family, and other organizations to see how many miles they can
do, and to see how good they will feel as a result. Try asking others
to promise you they will get moving and log their miles. Schedule times
to meet up and move with others. Sharing the outdoors with others is
fun, healthy, and invigorating.
On August 24, watch Ryan run. Imagine how good it will feel to watch
Ryan line up at the start of the Olympic Marathon on August 24 knowing
that your support, combined with that of the whole Big Bear Community,
will help propel him toward his goal of Olympic Gold. We would like as
many people as possible to benefit from this historic opportunity to
support Ryan and participate in the Olympic Dream. So won't you please
join us and encourage others to start Moving for Ryan?
