Godby Brothers hit home on Wednesday, will visit Capitol
More than 1,700 miles will shortly be behind the Godby brothers as they once again spread the word about naturopathic medicine.
Isaiah and Jeremiah Godby — who last year, with their cousin Jonas and dad Dennis, ran from San Francisco to Connecticut in the name of the preventive health care world — will meet in Davis on Wednesday at 5 p.m. at Central Park after completing their summerlong north-south run.
Isaiah, who began his trek in August at the Mexican-U.S. border, and Jeremiah — almost done with his journey that began in Blaine, Wash. — will reunite while family, friends and run supporters gather near the Davis Farmers Market.
Both Godbys attended Davis High and their father is a natural-medicine doctor with a practice in Sacramento.
The meeting in Davis on Wednesday will be followed by a Thursday Natural Health Festival, according to Godby media representatives, at which the local family hopes to continue in their nationwide effort to draw attention “to other naturopathic and other natural-medicine and lifestyle changes,” according to Dennis Godby.
The Capitol festival will take place on the west side of the state building and runs from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
“It is so very inspiring to follow Isaiah and Jeremiah as they run 30-plus miles a day to raise awareness for natural medicine health-care options,” California Naturopathic Doctors Association President Angela Agrios told the press at a recent Southern California health fair. “We felt proud and excited to partner with Isaiah in Santa Monica to educate the Los Angeles community about naturopathic medicine and introduce the … local NDs.
“Each daily stop provides such a great opportunity for naturopathic doctors to connect to their communities.”
