Run Across America for Veterans



Long-distance runner Anna Judd announced today that she will broadcast live during her run across America exclusively on live-streaming social media platform Hang w/ to raise funds and awareness for American veterans.

Already, Anna’s run has gained support from military groups and organizations nationwide. In Arizona, Anna will be joined by a local SWAT team. In Texas, a group of Navy Seals have agreed to join Anna on her run. Across the U.S., 17 Chapters of Team RWB (Team Red White and Blue) will join Anna for legs of her run.  Team RWB is a national organization whose mission is to enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity.

The Run Across America launches on Saturday March 22, at 10 am in Venice Beach, California, and is planned to conclude on June 28, 2014 at the Freedom Tower in New York City.  Anna will broadcast at 6 am, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 1 pm each day while she makes her way across the nation.

The Hang w/ app allows users to “hang with” each other via live streaming video and simultaneous chat. Users can follow Anna in the app, and each time Anna broadcasts live users will receive a notification, “AnnaRunsAmerica wants to Hang w/ you.”  Users who tune in can view Anna in live-streaming video and communicate with her through live chat.

A complete schedule of Anna’s Run Across America and more information is available on www.AnnaRunsAmerica.com.
