Eldridge is a local sports agent who is running 10 marathons this year in hopes of raising $100,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project, which helps disabled service men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. He’ll be running the Marine Corps Marathon on Sunday.

How’d you get the idea to run 10 marathons?
The cause came first. Running one or two marathons in and of itself would not generate the degree of sacrifice and attention I think is needed for these young guys. Looking at the calendar and jockeying with some numbers, that was when we really came up with 10 marathons in 12 months for $100,000. It was something that was extreme enough that it would generate conversation.
