Chris Lomen Rollerskating 4,000 Miles For Haiti Charity

Chris Lomen is on a mission to raise money to rebuild schools in Haiti -- by rollerskating 4,000 miles. Local news station KARE reports Lomen is starting his trek in his home state of Minnesota and plans to journey to Maine before skating down the East Coast to Florida.

Lomen has created a website, Rolling to Rebuild, to raise awareness about his expedition and collect donations through international nonprofit Outreach International. So far, Lomen has raised over $1,000 of his ambitious $100,000 goal.
