Title: Fran Finney (Hal's wife) for Running Bitcoin Post by: o_e_l_e_o on January 03, 2022, 10:26:26 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtfQ4LItIUc
Fran Finney, Hal's wife, has launched a "Running Bitcoin" challenge (named after Hal's famous tweet: https://twitter.com/halfin/status/1110302988) running up to January 10th, the anniversary of the famous tweet. The challenge is to run a half marathon (21.1 km, 13.1 miles), raise some sponsorship, and donate some bitcoin in Hal's name to ALS research. You can receive a few cool bitcoin/Hal themed items in return if you hit certain goals, and you don't need to do the full half marathon in one go - just cover the distance over the next week. Unfortunately the website - https://runningbitcoin.us - seems to be down at the moment, but a snapshot on the Wayback Machine forwards you to this page - http://web.alsa.org/site/TR?team_id=400870&fr_id=14584&pg=team - which is the Running Bitcoin team page on the ALS Association website. You can also see some individuals' progress at https://mobile.twitter.com/bitcoinrunners. Even if you can't run, you can throw some bitcoin their way in honor of Hal. Looks like they've already raised over their initial goal of $5,000. I have no links to this charity and cannot vouch for it one way or another.

I did not join Bitcoin market too early so I did not know about that tweet of Hal. Thanks for sharing. So please give me share that story of Hal. Perhaps other newbies on the forum who joined it in 2020 or 2021 did not know about his story. |
