Walter Schaller Continues to Run Marathons Supporting the Red Cross 

Walter SchallerDayton,  Wednesday, April 30, 2008  —  Walter Schaller was born in 1936, one of fourteen children in Zeneggen, Switzerland, a small town of 250, near the Matterhorn. After majoring in hotel management in Berne, Schaller relocated to Canada at the age of 20 and subsequently rmoved to Dayton, Ohio, where he met his wife and raised three children.

At age 55, Walter returned to his birthplace in a second attempt to climb the Matterhorn and was forced by a snowstorm to abort his quest 500 feet short of the summit. In preparation for the climb, he turned to running to build his stamina – so began a passion.

Walter’s involvement with the American Red Cross and Boston Marathon began in 1997. Initially establishing a goal of raising $1,500 in pledges, Walter raised more than $21,000 in his first race. The following year, Walter established a permanent endowment fund for the Dayton Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. Twelve years later, donations to the "Schaller Runner's Fund" now total in excess of $450,000.

Walter completed his twelfth Boston Marathon last week on April 21, 2008, placing 15th in his division and finishing in 4:04:31 at a pace of 9.09 minutes per mile. His personal efforts of endurance continue to benefit local families who are helped through the American Red Cross’ Dayton Area Chapter disaster relief fund.

Walter Schaller is currently a Board Member Emeritus of the Dayton Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. He can be reached at 937-477-0094 and maintains a website of his experiences at www.schallerrunnersfund.com.

GREATER DAYTON CHAPTERS OF THE AMERICAN REDCROSS SEEK VOLUNTEERS    

Former President Clinton once stated that, “volunteering is an act of heroism on a grand scale. And it matters profoundly. It does more than help people beat the odds; it changes the odds.”

Does the holiday season motivate you to volunteer in your community? 

Local chapters of the American Red Cross are currently engaged in active volunteer recruitment campaigns  to improve disaster response across the region. Volunteers are being sought to help deliver disaster assistance to local families and to support the day-to-day administrative and fundraising activities of the six chapter offices in the Miami Valley. American Red Cross chapters are volunteer driven organizations, relying upon donations of time from community members to respond to hundreds of fires and local disaster incidents annually. These "heroes" sacrifice time from their lives and families to lend a helping hand in support of neighbors and strangers. These efforts have real impact, leaving impressions upon the lives of both the victims and the volunteers.
