MEET THE CREW

In any sort of endurance run/bike, the importance of your crew can't be understated. They will take turns staying awake as they travel alongside you in a van. They'll be cooking your food in the back of the van, they'll be making sure you have enough water, they'll be protecting you from the traffic, they'll be running alongside you when you need a little perk, and most importantly, they'll be cheering you on when you start getting down. It takes a tough person to be on your crew, and Lisa's got the best you can get for this big event.

LEIGH CORBIN – Lead Crew Chief and will be crewing the entire 810
"I am looking forward to crewing for Lisa again this year as she runs through the Nevada desert and on to Badwater to complete her 9th official crossing. Having Sister MaryBeth on her crew is a dream come true for Lisa and I know that it will be an epic event climbing Mt. Whitney with Lisa and Sister maryBeth carrying the banner for The Religious Teachers Filippini and Aids Orphans Rising. Lisa is an extraordinary athlete to crew for. As a crew we are always busy and there is little down time. This girl can move but along with her outstanding abilities, I have found that being on Lisa's crew is not only fun but very inspiring also. It is a place where friends bond and memories are made. I have found that Lisa has always set a standard of kindness that is followed by others. Good luck Lisa, we will all be right by your side." turborunz.blogspot.com

GEORGE VELASCO – Will be crewing the entire 810 miles.
I want to be on Lisa's crew because I believe in her dream goal. I know how fortunate and blessed I am, living where I live, my good health and what I have been able to accomplish in my own life. Lisa's dream to help those less fortunate will be one of the most rewarding and spiritual experiences of my life. I know Lisa has the physical, mental and spiritual fortitude to accomplish the 810 miles. Lisa even has me running the streets looking for money on the ground. 4 cents feeds 1 child; we can all make a difference.

TERRY MADL – Will crew for the 302 miles of running
After I finished my first 100 Mile Ultra in Vermont last year, I asked Lisa if she thought I could handle Badwater. She said, “Yes, but you should crew for me first to get a feel for the race and to understand how to set up your own crew.” So that's where this ll got started for me. I had no idea then that it would blossom into such a wonderful, large-scale humanitarian project. I feel so privileged to have gotten to know about Sister Mary Beth's organization and her cause. I really look forward to meeting her at the 810, and of course to provide support for Lisa during this incredible physical and mental challenge.

ANNEMARIE DEALE – Will crew the 302 mile run
Lisa is such an inspiration to everyone she meets. She is always thinking about what she can do for someone else-- how she can make someone's day better, improve their life and, of course, how to help people reach their dreams. I love having a chance to help change so many children's lives and to help Lisa fulfill one of her own dreams- using her athletic talent to help the children.
