Support Volunteers for Badwater Runner From India ? I have a friend in India who contacted me on behalf of his good friend who apparently will be running Badwater this year, but has absolutely no support on the ground in the USA.

Robert & Sharon’s Photos from the 2014 HURT100
Well, this year was particularly challenging for me personally. Between my Crohn’s related health challenges and some unexpected and rather frustrating photography equipment technical challenges this certainly wasn’t my finest performance. Thankfully there were several other dedicated photographers out there working hard to capture the memories for as many of the runners, pacers, crew &…
