I posted a challenge over at Nike+ for runners to join and show their support.
Whoever logs the most miles over 9 weeks wins the challenge -- but it's about showing support for Craig, not who goes the farthest. These folks are donating their time and energy, and we appreciate it!
Hopefully we'll get a bunch of people to join in. If you have a Nike+ account, join the run.
Here's everyone's progress so far:

What's This All About?
20-year-old Craig from Cincinnati is battling three types of cancer. His nine weeks of chemotherapy are under way.
During the chemo, he can't work or go to school. ... Yeah ... Worse, he has to spend 6 hours alone in a room for each treatment session, 5 days a week.
On the bright side, Craig is an incontestably awesome dude. He takes great care of his family. He loves to BMX. He dominates at fantasy football. And he's carrying the pride of Cheviot on his back!

Love for Craig
It's got to be pretty boring to sit in a room 6 hours a day while doctors pump all kinds of crap into your body. Plus, it won't be as easy for Craig to keep up with all his crew.
Give Craig a shout-out to let him know what's up, that you're thinking about him, or just to celebrate his radness. Leave comments under stuff posted to the left.
Also, Craig could use some help financing his treatment. You can donate to his care by contributing to our online benefit, or just click on the "Donate" button at the top of the page.
Run for Craig
To raise cash for Craig, I'm going to donate $1 for every mile I run during his chemo. I hope to log at least 180 miles by the time he's finished.
It's not much, but with your help, it could be a little more. If you want to match my donation, leave Craig a note anywhere on this site pledging your support of $1 a mile. Then, at the end of 9 weeks, we'll post info to donate online or send a check.
If you can't donate but still want to help, you can run or walk for Craig. Just hit the road, then leave him a note to tell him how far you went, how fast, or what you saw along the way!
My mile total before Jan. 21 was 12.4, so we'll subtract that from the final number. Keep an eye on our progress here:
