If Levi Rizk, DO, reaches his goal, it will fund a new mobile health clinic, according to the report.

Dr. Rizk’s plan is to run roughly 40 miles per day. He will be trailed by an RV, where he will sleep at night — and which will be converted into the mobile health clinic at the end of his trip, according to the report.

He is fundraising until he hits the road June 17. Donate here to Dr. Rizk’s cause and read a full interview with him here.
