Jonathon Prince always loved to run. As a sophomore at Cheyenne High School in Las Vegas, NV, he broke the school mile record with a time of 5:35, a feat never before achieved by a sophomore. College life at Clark-Atlanta University in Atlanta, GA put a temporary stop to his running habit, but he resumed in 2003, getting up at 5:30am five days a week to pound the streets.
In August 2005 while running through his Studio City, CA neighborhood, Jonathon decided to try and do something to help the victims of the recent Hurricane Katrina. He organized the first Run 4 Relief, a cross-country run starting in Studio City and ending in Atlanta, GA. Despite his father’s warnings that the attempt was foolish and bound to fail, Jonathon persevered and in February 2006, he finished his run with four police cars and the Clark-Atlanta University track team escorting him to a homecoming celebration.
With the success of Run 4 Relief, Jonathon found his life’s purpose. In July 2006, he began Run 4 Relief II, running from Atlanta, GA to New York to promote awareness of the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. In total, Jonathon raised $125,000 for Katrina relief efforts.
Now, Jonathon’s at it again. This time, his Hope or Die! run started in California in October 2009 and will end in Washington, DC in March 2010. Instead of running straight across America, Jonathon plans to run from community to community, helping where help is needed and inspiring others to do likewise. Along the way, he’ll be raising money for six charities:
- Bread for the World
- Global Green USA
- Habitat for Humanity
- Water.org
- The Girl Effect
- Remote Area Medical
EBOOST is proud to provide Jonathon with the energy, hydration and recovery to help him on his run. If you want to do YOUR part to help Jonathon raise money, go to his website at www.hopeordie.org and click on “Contribute.” Tweet about it, tell your friends and post about it on facebook.

Running Never Felt So Good!
You know what? Shout out to running! Not only did it save & change my life but there’s nothing like puttin your body through an activity every now and then to live and maintain an active healthy lifestyle. To me, despite how I feel before I run, I feel awesome afterwards. Running is pratically involved in every single sport you can imagine. It works out every part of your body and you feel good and confident afterwards, no exception. I love to run, even if some days suck, but thats my fix. Find yours, and love the body your in, work it out every now and then. Get Fit. Get Sexy. An get Ready to feel good after a nice 2, 5, 10, or even 2500+ mile run across North America!
Do it for yourself!
True Story…
…just when I thought I was too tired from my 23+ miles today I had just got my room key from the extremely helpful front desk staff at the Whitten Inn, an headed over to our rooms, (M.dot and I) I was telling Mike something an out the corner of my eye is a guy who came down the stairs -faily fast- headed to his car, an ran SMACK dead into the cement gravel divider post of the building!!! Yikes! It HAD to hurt, because he stutter stepped before continuing to his car and held the left side if his face an proceeded with caution. Oouch! All I could see was the 80’s graphics from the old Batman that jumped at the screen like: “BooM BOOM Pow!!!”
Embarresment (for him) is an understatement. You know how you look around to see who else around you saw your blooper? He made NO eye contact what-so-ever! It made me feel uncomfortable to ask if he was ok, so I whispered to him, “Are you okay dude?” but he didn’t respond.
“He never saw that one coming” -The Cement Gravel Divider Post
My Legs feel like Play-Doh
Today was a weird run day, probably coming off of an achy allergy day yesterday which spilled over into today. I knocked out my 23+ miles, but I could tell the aches were from the Tylenol sinus meds I took.
I’m Sooo thankful to the Whitten Inn who had no reservations taking our reservation to reserve and put us up for the night. The front desk staff went over and beyond to make us comfortable and contribute to the fabulous people of Abilene, Tx. I’ll definitely be back one day, am I know exactly who to call & where to go for great hospitality… The Whitten Inn!
