Fran Finney, the widow of early Bitcoin contributor Hal Finney, announced a charity half marathon in honor of her husband via Twitter on Dec. 27.
The event is called “Running Bitcoin.” It aims to collect funds for research into treatment for ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Hal Finney was diagnosed with the disease in 2009 before he passed away from complications in 2014.
Fran Finney wrote on Twitter:
“We are determined to find a cure for this devastating condition and any support you can provide will make a big difference.”
Event organizers are collecting donations in Bitcoin and fiat currency through the event’s website, located at runningbitcoin.us. Contributors donating at least $100 will receive a free t-shirt commemorating the event. The top 25 contributors will receive a Hal Finney collectible autographed by Fran Finney.
The campaign has raised over $8,600, including $4,023 from Fran Finney herself. Organizers aim to raise $50,000 in total.
