Davis runs for ASL research funds

By Katie Gonzalez | October 13, 2008

When restaurant manager Ben Davis lost a co-worker and a fellow triathlon runner to Lou Gehrig's Disease, he channeled his grief into a 2,175-mile run of the Appalachian Trail, spanning 60 days, to raise awareness of the disease and money for research. Davis passed through Hanover last Thursday, and met with Dartmouth students who planned to join him on a part of his run. Emily Koepsell '09, Peter Shellito '09, Cody Doolan '10 and biology graduate student Tom Morrison, all members of the Dartmouth Endurance Racing Team, attempted to run with Davis for the few miles of the Appalachian Trail that pass through Hanover, but missed Davis on the trail. "I thought it would be a great team event and since I'm a leukemia survivor I understand where he is coming from," Koepsell, the club's president, said. The team wanted the opportunity to explore Dartmouth's connection with the Appalachian Trail and meet a fellow endurance runner, members of the group said. "All the through-hikers I've met are really eccentric," Shellito said, referring to hikers on the Appalachian Trail.
