Visco Raises Funds At Billy’s

Katie Visco, at 23, who is attempting to become the youngest female to run solo across the United States, made a stop in Liberal. Katie, who started her run March 29th, 2009, in Boston Massachusetts, hopes to complete her venture December 30, in San Diego California. Katie is running to raise funds for and promote “Girls On The Run”, a worthy charity that empowers young girls through running. She also hopes to inspire people across America to follow their passion and to connect to what gives them life and pave their own lane to pursue it, while making a positive impact on the world. While in Liberal Katie spoke to several students at Liberal High School. A fundraiser for “Girls On The Run” was held on Wednesday at 5:00pm at Billy’s. At the fundraiser Katie spoke to several individuals who were in attendance, and raised over $1,100.00 for her charity. Katie hopes to raise $32,000.00 on her cross country trek, $10.00 for every mile covered. For more information, to follow Katie’s daily blogs, or to donate, go to paveyourlane.com
