Jim Miller, a 72-year-old Portsmouth High School and University of New Hampshire graduate, is set to run his 300th marathon at the Boston Marathon on April 21. Running in memory of his father and to raise funds for the American Liver Foundation, Miller has raised approximately $175,000 for the cause. His father's battle with fatty liver disease led Miller to become an ambassador for the foundation.
Having raised over $84,000 towards his $100,000 goal for the Boston Marathon, Miller emphasizes the importance of a healthy lifestyle and diet in maintaining good health. With a plan to reach 400 marathons at a slower pace, Miller's dedication to running and fundraising efforts has garnered support from his high school classmates and broader community. His journey includes marathons in all 50 states and various challenging races, with a focus on spreading awareness about healthy lifestyle choices beyond marathon running.
