Some people run because they want to stay in shape. Others are training for a race. News 12 saw one person run this week for a Jersey Proud reason.
Christopher Sobel just arrived at High Point State Park in Sussex County. If he looks tired, it’s because he has just run across the entire state. He started in Cape May.
Sobel did the run to raise money for the Forum School in Waldwick. It is a school that serves children with special needs. Sobel’s daughter is enrolled there.
Sobel ran 50 miles a day – about 200 miles in all – and raised $7,200 for the cause.
