John Wilson, of Fox News Rising, came to Jesse Brown’s Outdoors, Charlotte, NC for some early morning interviewing.
The subject was the Trail Run Challenge (this Saturday, August 21st) presented by Jesse Brown’s at the US National Whitewater Center.
Wilson interviewed race director, Ryan Gilliland, about the great event that is encouraging all the road runners in the Charlotte area to “hit the trails” of the Whitewater Center.
The Race is to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society that helps advocate for research & patient support.
Abbie from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society & Linda, a blood cancer survivor (& runner) both shared their stories of what the cause is about.
Plus, Linda shared with Wilson (& the Fox News Rising viewers) her scary story of sickness, survival & revival as she is preparing to run in an upcoming 1/2 marathon.
Bill Bartee, of Jesse Brown’s Outdoors, spoke about Jesse Brown’s stance as a promoter of being active, getting people outdoors & making them aware of “trail running”. He showed two examples of footwear to run in. Five Fingers, with the minimalistic approach or Salomon XT Wings for full lightweight support.
Wilson shared his personality & his charisma….making everyone interview feel at ease…while getting good community information out to the Charlotte-area active community.
