    Lenexa Officer Runs Marathons for Charity

    LENEXA, Kan. (AP) A 44-year-old Lenexa police officer has been running a marathon each weekend for nearly a year to raise money for two charities.

    Bob Schluben finished his 52nd marathon in 47 weeks on Sunday when he completed the Gobbler Grind marathon in Overland Park . He’s raised almost $30,000 for the Sunflower House in Shawnee and the Surviving Spouse and Family Endowment Fund, also known as SAFE. Sunflower House is a child abuse prevention center, and SAFE raises money to support families of police officers, firefighters and paramedics who die on duty.

    The Kansas City Star reports Schluben initially promised to run a marathon each weekend, but he did more than one a few weekends, so even though he has done 52, he plans to do five more this year.
