Real-Life Forrest Gump Is Running Over 3,000 Miles in 100 Days

While Barclay's idea was initially only about the run itself, now it's also about using the publicity to help spread the word about the STEPS charity and get donations whenever possible. "Along the way I will try to talk to people I meet to spread the word of their charity and collect donations to support them. I have a goal of $10,000 by the time I finish on August 16, all of which will go straight to the STEPS Foundation," he explained. Barclay says that the money he hopes to raise will be enough to build a well in Mozambique, where access to clean water is limited.
