My team at Flyline Search Marketing created this video for Jack Fussell. He is planning to run across the United States, for a second time, to raise awareness of Alzheimer's disease and to help generate donations to the Alzheimer's Association, in order to help the fund research in their battle to find a cure.

Jack is currently training for his "Across The Land 2015" run, at Amicalola Falls State Park, here in Georgia. Jack is currently 63 years old, and just 13 short years ago, weighed almost 300 pounds. Jack had been told by his physician that he had only months to live and that drove Jack to prove them wrong. He began walking at Amicalola Falls. At first, he could not walk very far, but, he got out everyday and tried. Slowly the weight began to come off. Jack began to work on his diet. Watching his diet, coupled with the walking, began to accelerate the weight loss.

In 2013, Jack ran across the United States for the first time. He ran from Skidaway Island State Park, located in South Georgia, to Monterey, California. He raised more than $29,000 dollars for the Alzheimer's Association during his first run. The goal is to raise even more during the 2015 run.

Alzheimer's disease affects more than 5 million people here in the United States. There currently is no cure for the disease. Alzheimer's disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. 1 in 3 seniors will die from Alheimer's disease. You can make a difference by supporting Jack.
