Marco Island residents Arne and Jill Sandberg took on the 50k portion of the Keys100 Ultramarathon on May 18th. They dedicated the race to three charities - Our Daily Bread Food Pantry, The Marco Island Fire Foundation and the Marco Island Police Foundation. For motivation, they donated $3,150 in total, with $1,050 going to each organization. The amount chosen coordinates with the distance Arne ran, 50k or 31 miles.
While Arne ran the race, Jill was his support crew. She ensured he stayed cool, hydrated and had the right nutrition so he could complete the race.
When asked, “Why run 31 miles?” Arne said, “It is to remind me that I am so fortunate to be able to run, to be living in paradise, to support those who do so much for our community and put their life on the line for us every day.”
