MAN ON A MISSION
On February 5, 2018, Jonathan Terrell became one of only a small number of people worldwide to complete the World Marathon Challenge — 7 marathons, in 7 days, on all 7 continents!
Running 26.2 miles every day for a week, while literally traveling around the world — from Antarctica to Africa, then Australia, Asia, Europe, South America and, finally, North America — took incredible dedication. Jonathan trained for a year, and he had to dig deep to push through extreme discomfort during the race.
But Jonathan endured because he was on a mission for ...
- 1 Increase awareness of Children’s National Health System in Washington, D.C., as a nationwide leader in pediatric and adolescent care.
- 2 Raise $1 MILLION to upgrade the hospital’s inpatient mental health unit and create a new nationwide model for care.
