Former Woodbridge resident Ethan Bennett to fight cancer with coast-to-coast run

Bennett plans to run in memory of his mother, who died in May 2006

Posted: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 12:00 am | Updated: 6:08 am, Wed Oct 12, 2011.

It was late on Sunday night, but Ethan Bennett couldn’t sleep. So he did what he’s done for years to deal with stress: He went for a run. Two hours circling around his old Woodbridge neighborhood was enough to clear his mind. The 22-year-old lives for that runner’s high, for being in a zone where it feels like nothing can touch him.

Next year, he’ll be spending a lot of time there as he runs across America to raise money to aid the fight against cancer.
