2010 Bataan Memorial Death March!
It’s been five years since
the start of “Miles for Maddy,” the charity organization started by Pete Pukish to help his niece
Madison Ringenberg through her health challenges and the financial problems
that come with DiGeorge syndrome. It all started with a 26.2 mile run through
White Sands Missile Range New Mexico and a 45lb backpack (they suggested 35 lb
but you know Pete!). That run several years ago was made into a fundraiser and
was the beginning of “Miles for Maddy” a program developed for runners around
the world to contribute towards helping improve the quality of life for this
tiny girl who is fighting DiGeorge syndrome so bravely.
Satori Martial Arts is
continually looking for ways to give of themselves to help support
organizations in need. In March 2010 Eugene du Plessis and Luke Von Esh will be
making the Bataan run with Pete Pukish. The 26.2 mile Bataan Memorial Death
March is an incredible physical
challenge through the high desert terrain in New Mexico at altitudes of
4,100 to 5,300 feet. The race includes an 8-mile incline and a sand pit that is
supposed to be roughly 3 miles, to be run while each runner carries a 45-pound
backpack for the entire rigorous and demanding event.
The run is a prerequisite
for Sensei Eugene du Plessis as he is working towards his fourth degree Black
Belt in Satori Karate. In line with the nature of Satori, the upper level Black
Belt exams never focus on the individual but on the individual working on
things bigger than themselves. In this spirit, this years trek will be focused
on raising support for Maddy.
Madison Ringenberg suffers from DiGeorge syndrome. At age 7, Maddy has
had more surgeries than her family could count. She has three more major
procedures scheduled this spring including one that will put a more definitive
date on her 3rd upcoming open-heart surgery. Please consider sponsoring
these three runners who are physically, mentally and emotionally giving all
that they’ve got to help improve the quality and longevity of Madison’s life.
This past December, Karate
teacher Ridgely Abele, a 9th degree black belt and teacher to Pete Pukish,
succumbed his battle with cancer. In his memory, a portion of the funds raised
from this event will be given to his charity of choice: The Womens resource
center to end domestic violence.
More than anything, we
ask for your prayers for the health of Madison as well as for the
Bataan runners.
