Ultrarunner David Kilgore didn't let the Florida heat stop him from raising money for COVID-19 relief efforts.
On Friday, Kilgore ran 100 miles in his hometown of Palm Bay, Fla., to help New York City small businesses and buy shoes for healthcare workers. In an Instagram post on Thursday, he said he "wanted a new way to push my limits" after most of his upcoming races were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"I am running to raise awareness and donations for the communities needing it most. Your donations will contribute to Gift Cards that I will be purchasing from struggling NYC run specialty stores.
