Running for Grandma

Chris Chandler runs on a treadmill in the basement of his Midland home while watching a movie Tuesday morning. He has been running to raise money to help pay for his grandmother's, Joanne Paulus, medical expenses. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and over a 60 day period ending on Christmas, Chandler committed to running a total of 300 miles. With 15 miles left to go in his basement Tuesday morning, he plans to finish the run while in Petoskey, Mich., for Christmas.
