Penn State's Will Levis runs 5 miles backward for COVID-19 relief

Penn State quarterback Will Levis wanted to find a creative way to help during the coronavirus pandemic. So he came up with a fundraising strategy to match the times: a backward run.

Levis on Saturday completed a 5-mile run backward and exceeded his goal by raising more than $3,800 for three organizations helping to treat and support people impacted by COVID-19. The Nittany Lions junior finished the run in 57 minutes, 51 seconds, repeatedly circling the track at a high school in State College, Pennsylvania.
