Running on Home ... For a Cause

The phrase "run on home" (often followed by "to mommy") is often associated with a scared child fleeing from a bully. But Penn State University senior Chris Ulmer is putting his own spin the phrase:

Chris Ulmer is running as far away as he can get from State College after he graduates Dec. 18.

But his 250-mile run to his parents’ house in Willow Grove, Pa. isn’t just so Ulmer can return home. Ulmer (senior-media studies) is also raising money for Teach for America by asking people to donate money for each mile he runs.
