Man some people just inspire the hell out of you! I mean, their stories just make you want to pack all your excuses into a trunk and drop them into a lake. This guy Tellman Knudson’s story just made me go, “What!!! I guess I am lazy…” This guy was born with a condition that caused him to be severely pigeon-toed. And he did something about it.

Kind of like Joseph Pilates. He rejected the fact that his condition would limit him and then worked his tail off until he was in a league of his own. For Tellman, this meant cross-country running. He ran until his legs straightened out. For Pilates it meant overcoming rickets and training every muscle in his body to work together.

Now he’s Something near and dear to my heart. Well he tells his story better than I do:

That’s right he’s raising $100,000,000 dollars for a charity that helps homeless children.

Running clear across America barefoot costs a lot of money apparently, and I only just heard about the adventure because Tellman Knudson happens to be one of the top authorities on list-building, and I am an avid student of marketing. So he created an absolutely, draw-doppingly, awesome offer with a few other marketers to fund his run across the states and raise that $100 mill. for charity.

I couldn’t resist; I just had to snap it up and blog about it to boot, Check It Out:
