Assigned Reading: Roy Williams, fundraisers and a walk at the beach

bilde

Over Labor Day weekend, a woman named Hannah Telman was planning on hosting a fundraiser for her friend Amy Louthan who needed surgery to remove a brain tumor.

Telman’s plan?

To host a fundraising run in Wrightsville Beach, NC.

That just so happened to take place in the same neighborhood where UNC head coach Roy Williams vacations. While Telman, who is training for a marathon in October, was out on a run the day before the event, she happened to run into Williams. She told him about the event, invited him to come along, and despite not exchanging phone numbers or email addresses, Williams showed up bright and early the next morning to take part.

The fundraiser, between the run and a luncheon, ended up raising more than $28,000.
