From May 5, 1996 thru April 27, 1997, Karl
Gruber, of Hide-Away-Hills, Ohio successfully ran one marathon a
week for 52 consecutive weeks. Karl's year of marathons was named
the "Super Run for the Cure"
with the idea being that his marathons and the subsequent
publicity would serve as a vehicle to promote public awareness of
the need to find a cure for the deadly disease of leukemia, and
to try to raise $1 million for leukemia research. To date, Karl
is still raising money toward successfully reaching his $1
million goal.
Karl Gruber's "Super
Run for the Cure" is testimony to the
fact that an ordinary man can accomplish extraodinary things! If
Karl, an ordinary, mid-pack runner can run 52 marathons in 52

Cure" fund for leukemia research by
