Bridges of Hope World Record Attempt
My friend, Helene Neville, a 63-year-old nurse, mom, grandma, author, and inspirational speaker, is in remission from a rare, aggressive, and advanced Stage IV cancer. After fighting for her life through the valley of the shadow of death, she turned her death sentence into a life sentence…Helene’s next chapter is unfolding. If not now, when?
On November 23, 2023, Thanksgiving, at 5:01 a.m.
Helene will run the iconic Golden Gate Bridge 16 times/26.2 miles
Then fly 3,370 miles and run the Brooklyn Bridge 24 times/26.2 miles.
Helene will aim to finish both bridges, including travel logistics, in 24 hours.
- At age 59, Helene finished her run across all 50 U.S. states/13,850 miles.
- At age 56, Helene ran for 35 hours/135 miles back and forth on the Las Vegas Strip. Then ran up and down 389 times/16 miles on the “Rocky Steps.”
- In March 2020, Helene ran to the front line as a travel nurse during COVID-19, and by October 2020, was diagnosed with cancer.
“The role of inspiring hope in humankind gives me purpose. Ocean to ocean, and everywhere in between, bridges symbolize unity, optimism, and connectedness. I run for those who can’t, those who suffer, those who are no longer with us, and those fighting for their lives. I run to provide light where most see only darkness encouraging them to “Rethink Impossible.” Believing we are better together; my community is my country.”

**Helene doesn’t tell us what to do, she shows us how! All monies raised after the cost of this attempt will be donated to her oncologist's fundraiser who now has terminal cancer -because no one fights alone. This is what life should be, a wonderful journey of living and loving each moment and each other.
If able, would you help by donating, sharing, and/or reaching out to friends to help with ground transportation and/or volunteer to help out on the bridges? BRING SIGNS AND/OR NOISEMAKERS 🥳
Thank you so much.
