A man with a vision has completed an amazing feat, by running 100 miles within the time span of 24 hours. The one who did this greatest achievement is Andrew Whitson, a Madeira high school graduate in Cincinnati. While digging out his purpose behind this action is to raise funds for the people who are suffering from medical debt. ‘Undue Medical Debt’ is the non-profit organisation which buys and forgives the financial burden in the healthcare of the individuals or families who are across the U.S.

The report of Fox19 highlights the compassionate motive behind this running of Andrew which is beyond physical endurance.
“I was the overweight kid who couldn’t finish the mile in gym class. Now I’m running 100 miles to help someone else. That feels good.” said Andrew.
“The thing that keeps me going is remembering this isn’t about me. I want to do something physically hard so someone else don’t have to go through something emotionally hard like crushing medical debt.” he added

It clearly conveys a message to the world that a good cause is born out of hard encounters. Similarly, Andrew’s bitter past has fueled his current compassion towards the people to support them with what he has and what he can. Despite the energy consuming hurdles like rain, thunder and exhaustion during his 100 miles of running he has been backed rightly by his friends, former track teammates and strangers. And they all have togetherly contributed to his cause of approximately $10,000. With his incessant grit and passion Andrew was able to complete his run which received the aid from various people and communities as a key role in the journey of this cause. He has even received good words of mouth from his former coach Josh Dooley who appreciated his abilities for a meaningful cause.
This is an ideal proof of how an impact action of an individual can lead to a powerful social cause which could even attract the attention of the world. Andrew is one of the greatest human beings in the world who are willing to dedicate their lives for a purposeful initiative involving both the individual and the society.
