Van Beusekom decided to celebrate his 30th birthday by running on a treadmill for 24 hours straight. The birthday boy raised just over $3,000 dollars for the American Lung Association. Van Beusekom covered about 80 miles before he stopped running at noon on Tuesday…only taking breaks to use the restroom and change clothes.
