“I had an idea! I’m gonna run a mile a day for the next 67 days,” she began in the clip. “$67 to save the life of a child who is suffering from severe acute malnutrition with a six-week course of ready-to-use therapeutic food, to take a child from severe acute malnutrition to health and life.”
In the video, which featured clips from many of her runs throughout the endeavor, Garner spoke to fans, saying, “To so many of you who have run a day with me, or who are running all of it, or who have donated, thank you! Every donation you make, know that it’s going straight to kids who need it.”
She also talked about the upcoming 67th day of the project, asking fans to join her for the last run in Los Angeles, Calif. Garner wrote in the caption, “I’m inviting you to join me for my final mile on Sunday, June 22nd with @becsgentry and @brooksrunning in support of Save the Children— in LA or from wherever you are!
