Coughlan will still continue to honor the rare disease community on his 4th run. To date, Coughlan has run over 10,000 miles totaling the equivalent of 400 marathons. Over 40 States through 5 years as well as Ireland, Coughlan endured violent weather systems, extreme temperatures, wildlife encounters, weight loss, and injuries. Noah has completed over 200 media interviews, held a joint press conference with Congress at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C, and has been greeted by multiple Governors in their State Capitols. Across numerous cities, he was welcomed by dozens of police escorts including a Presidential police escort through Boston. Coughlan has been awarded commendations and awards ranging from local municipalities to the federal government, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Marines Corps, and the United States Congress. After the final step of his trilogy of American runs, Coughlan addressed a crowd of thousands at the Pacific Ocean in San Diego on Independence Day 2015. Coughlan remarked, "Americans can do great things when we work together. We can cross continents and reach other oceans." As Coughlan crosses through each small town and big city again in 2023, he brings a message of hope as a reminder that nothing is impossible.
