Despite high winds and heavy rain, Zitomersky ran all of the 26.2 miles of the Boston Marathon backwards and although, he was very close to beating the record, he crossed the finished line in 5 hours, 43 minutes, 59 seconds. The current Guinness World Record is 3 hours, 43 minutes, 39 seconds and was achieved by Xu Zhenjun at the Beijing Marathon on October 17, 2004. While Zitomersky’s objective was to beat the current record, his main goal was to create awareness about epilepsy and raise funds to End Epilepsy. The money raised supports the Epilepsy Foundation’s efforts to help better the lives of the more than 65 million people living with epilepsy worldwide.]]>https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/04/14/1471656/0/en/Thousands-of-People-with-Epilepsy-and-their-Loved-Ones-Participate-in-the-12th-Annual-National-Walk-for-Epilepsy-on-the-National-Mall.html?f=22&fvtc=4&fvtv=29453Thousands of People with Epilepsy and their Loved Ones Participate in the 12th Annual National Walk for Epilepsy on the National Mall2018-04-14T14:23:34Z<![CDATA[Contributions Fund Research, Programs and Services for 3.4 Million People in the U.S. Living with Seizures Contributions Fund Research, Programs and Services for 3.4 Million People in the U.S. Living with Seizures]]>Leaders of the Epilepsy Foundation kick off the 12th Annual National Walk for Epilepsy on the National Mall.
