About Me


  I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)My Name is Tom Bassano. I am your normal 9 to 5 worker, husband, and Dad. But when work is done I like to make life a bit more interesting. April 19th of 2008 I completed a solo run across the United States of America in 48 days the 3rd fastest run across the country in history. I averaged over 60 miles a day and raised thousands of dollars for a child advocacy center. During my run I spread the word to raise awarness for abused and abducted children, and spent some great time with my family. I have made some great friends on the road and here on myspace. I have learned alot in a short time and I continue to train run and speak for the innocent. I am always looking for a new chalange a task that seems impossible. My next chalange is to run in a race that is designed for a 12 person relay, The Ragnar Relays, 191 miles from Clearwater beach to Daytona Beach, in 35 hours or less, no one has atempted this distance in this time frame, sounds like a great challange to me and to top it off the Ragnar Relays benifit a charity called Operation Kids, An organization that is dedicated to keeping children healthy, To top that off I have been contacted by Big Brothers and Big sisters to help promote them. So it looks like I get to run for the innocent again. Although I am not raising money for children who have been mistreated this time I am still running for the innocent and trying to make there lives better. Both of these organizations make better lives for children and some of these children really need that. I am looking forward to this run and I hope I can count on everyone to continue to support Run for the Innocent. Stay Tuned for more info on the Ragnar Relay Nov. 14th and 15th 2008.href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vdmlld21vcmVwa WNzLm15c3BhY2UuY29tL2luZGV4LmNmbT9mdXNlYWN0aW9uPXZpZXdJbWFnZ SZmcmllbmRJRD0yMTExMzQ3MzQmYWxidW1JRD0xMTc5NDEzJmltYWdlSUQ9M TQzNzA1NTE=">
