In 2014, Al DeCesaris took on another incredibly challenging athletic endeavor, this time on foot. Without a support team and with no marathon experience, Al ran close to a marathon a day from the seaside town of Lubec, Maine down the entire East Coast to Key Largo, Florida – 1,935 miles in all! Through his Running The Coast For A Cure charity run, he created awareness about Sturge-Weber Syndrome down the coast, raised funds for ongoing medical research, and inspired others to join the fight against the disorder.
