We have had some interesting Cinches over the last few weeks. We wanted to highlight some here so you can enjoy them also.

On January 15, 2010, Bruce Johnson started running across the United States to benefit the Community Crisis Center of Elgin, IL. Bruce is a local roofer from Elgin IL. Overcoming recent obstacles, like a recent surgery that has limited the mobility in his right leg and a broken back, Bruce is sacrificing himself to raise this money and funding it all on his own. Bruce was abused as a child and a runaway, thus his passion for helping this center.

He has been recording updates along the way to keep the world updated on his run across the US. So far Bruce has raised $1,800.00 at 12 dollars a donation completely through “word of mouth.” So help Bruce spread the word, and listen below.

In the Cinch below, he is joined by another runner that was arranged by another Cinch community member.

The last featured Cinch of the week is from our very own CEO, Alan Levy, at the United Nations.

Stay tuned for more interesting and fun Cinches we post in the blog, and as usual “happy cinching”.

Bruce Johnson is running over 3000 miles across the United States to raise money and awareness for the Community Crisis Center of Elgin, IL and he is documenting his journey using Cinch Listen to Bruce’s progress on his Cinch page.

Bruce started out on his journey on January 15th and has already met some challenges along the way: near-collisions with flying car hoods, unplanned detours, rain, buzzards, and more. Bruce is sharing his experiences with friends and supporters multiple times a day while running by calling into the Cinch number (646-200-0000) with stories from the road.
