    This woman ran a marathon in her backyard to raise money for COVID-19 workers

    Anna Harding, 34, has run 8 marathons in her life, but her latest is one for the books. She ran almost 2,000 back-and-forth laps in her mom's backyard just outside of London to raise money for the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

    Harding calculated that if she ran the out-and-back length of the backyard (which is 10.7 meters or 70.2 feet) that she’d be able to complete the marathon in just over 1,971 laps.

    Harding said it was the hardest marathon to date because not only was the scenery boring, but also that she had to slow her pace dramatically each time she turned around, which was every ten steps.

    It took her just over 6 hours to cross the finish line — which was aptly made from a strip of precious toilet paper — a much slower pace than her personal best which she completed in Amsterdam at just under 4 hours.

    Harding said the best part about the marathon was finishing. What kept her going on this epic feat was thinking about all the front line workers who put their lives at risk. She hopes her marathon encourages others to stay home to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

    "That message of ‘stay at home’ probably couldn’t be any clearer than stay at home and run in your backyard," Harding told "GMA."

    Anna Harding said it was the hardest marathon she’s ever run.

    "I didn’t feel right not being a part of it because I had promised her that I would be there every step of the way and I felt like I would be breaking my word," said Albert Conner, who had been to every doctor's appointment, every test and every chemotherapy appointment with his wife since she was diagnosed with breast cancer in January.

    "As soon as he texted me, I just kind of lifted up in my chair a little bit to peer out the window and he was just right there," she said. "It immediately brought tears to my eyes and I felt a love for him right then in that moment, that he would do that for me."

    "This [coronavirus pandemic] is inspiring people to come up with creative ways to continue to show their love and support for family," said Kelly Conner.

    Newspaper delivery man brings groceries to seniors

    Greg Dailey has been a newspaper delivery man in Mercer County, New Jersey, for the past 25 years, but since the novel coronavirus shutdowns began, he’s volunteered his time to deliver groceries, too.

    The idea struck Dailey two weeks ago when he was delivering a newspaper to 88-year-old Phyllis Ross, who asked if he could drop off her newspaper closer to her garage to limit the amount of time she was outside.

    Dailey wondered how Ross, along with other seniors, were going to get groceries, so he called to ask if she needed anything. "We were absolutely floored," Ross said. "At my age, I’m afraid to go into a store."

    His efforts snowballed from there, and before long, he found himself delivering to homes outside his usual route.

    Greg Dailey has delivered newspapers and groceries to over 50 New Jersey residents who can’t leave their homes.

    The nurses had only 10 minutes to spare before rushing back to the battleground beneath them.

    Math teacher visits student's front porch for homework help

    A South Dakota teacher is getting praise for going above and beyond to help a student with her math homework.

    When sixth-grade math teacher Chris Waba saw that his student, Rylee Anderson, was still struggling with a problem even after an email exchange, he grabbed a whiteboard and headed to her house.

    Waba, who misses being in the classroom, shrugged off the praise after the moment went viral. "There are thousands and thousands of teachers going the extra mile for their kids," he said.

    To thank hospital staff who are working around the clock in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, New York City chef Tracy Wilk is "baking it forward."

    Wilk, who is a professional chef and instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education, was furloughed from her job and decided to help medical workers with the extra time she had on her hands.

    "A lot of those health care workers have been working overtime. I’ve done those days before in the kitchen," Wilk said. "A cookie isn’t going to change it but it’s going to help workers on the front lines and those little bits of joy are what makes the day better."

    His owner, Courtney Leigh, stood outside the windows with the pooch waiting for the residents to see. Then, they’d walk over and say hello to through the windows, as the facility is under quarantine amid coronavirus.

    "They were smiling from ear to ear. Some reached out to touch the window," Leigh told ABC News. "Of all the therapy visits, probably the most meaningful was this window visit. It seemed much more special with what's going on right now."

    Kids spread love with rainbow art scavenger hunts

    With many schools across the nation closed due to social distancing measures, kids are getting crafty with their time indoors.

    The Facebook page "Rainbows over Nassau and Suffolk Counties and Beyond" has 27,000 members and counting, with families hoping to extend joy around several communities.

    Katherine Schilling, Nicole Sapienza and Danielle Arcuri, all of whom are from Long Island, New York, launched the group after seeing people hanging rainbow art in Italy amid the pandemic.

    The idea is to hang handmade rainbow art in a place where other children can point them out while getting fresh air.

    While she said learning will continue online, Witt said she misses her classroom and the little voices that fill it.

    "They need a classroom community and their daily school routine. Suddenly losing a teacher is a loss," Witt said.

    Teacher writes 100 letters to students after school closes for the year

    A middle school teacher found a way to let her students know that even though she won’t be seeing them every day in class, she is thinking about them.

    Victoria Bay, 29, teaches sixth grade Social Studies at Andover Central Middle School in Andover, Kansas. This week, the school district made the call to close for the remainder of the school year due to coronavirus concerns.

    On March 18, Kathleen "Katie" Byrne of Syracuse, New York, was greeted at a safe distance by loved ones singing "Happy Birthday" during the coronavirus crisis.

    When Bay realized she wouldn’t be giving her students proper goodbyes, she wanted to do something special.

    She typed a generic letter for all 100 students and added a handwritten, personalized note to each. She sent them two days after news broke that the school year was over.

    "I wanted them to know that I instantly thought of them in that moment that [school] was canceled and I’m so thankful for the memories that we created together," Bay said.

    Because of social distancing, it means he has to start work earlier in the morning and keep more space between him and other people. His message of hope was liked by more than half a million people.

    "Sometimes it’s hard to keep my legs movin’ and I just wanna stop," Meier told "GMA." "But I have a route to do, and if I quit somebody else is gonna have to come do it. … It started feeling more important to me, like I needed to help the people of my city."

    With a severe shortage of masks, volunteers are offering a solution to health care workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic.

    Scott Steiner, CEO of Phoebe Putney, told ABC News the lack of N95 masks are a concern as they help protect doctors and nurses from contracting infectious diseases.

    "We've got more than 50 people making these right now," Steiner said. "We think we can make 200,000 of them."

    New York City restaurant gives free food to the community

    At Miss Ada, a New York City restaurant, staff there are working hard to feed the community amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    When too many ingredients were bought for the week before restaurants were told to close, staff there didn’t want them to go to waste and collectively decided to pay it forward by feeding people in the community.

    "It’s been good," said sous-chef, Ben Sanderson. "Tons of people that we know from the neighborhood and people we don’t have been coming in and we’ve been able to talk to them and give them good food."

    While schools are closed during the coronavirus crisis, Madilyn, 10, Olivia, 9, Cameron, 7 and Jack France, 4, have been busy at work drawing pictures and writing well wishes to people in nursing homes around Massachusetts.

    While they haven’t been charging people for meals, Sanderson says that all donations received as well as money spent toward gift cards through the end of March will be given to staff. So far, they’ve raised $4,000.

    "A lot of people’s lives are up in the air, but I think this has been good because it gives people a chance to come in and do something fun and positive," Sanderson said.

    A group of siblings are turning their downtime into an opportunity to show kindness by sending handmade cards to seniors who are quarantined in assisted living facilities amid the coronavirus crisis.

    While schools are closed, Madilyn, 10, Olivia, 9, Cameron, 7 and Jack France, 4, have been busy at work drawing pictures and writing well wishes to people in nursing homes around Massachusetts.

    Their cousins Annabelle, 10 and Danika, 8 are also helping with the cause.

    "I explained to them, 'These people in nursing homes are nervous to get this virus themselves.' Being able to draw those pictures and write those letters, it's the least we can do and it makes us feel good too," mom Vanessa France told "Good Morning America."

    France, a hospice care worker, said her kids have mailed letters to dozens of homes locally.

    "As long as we have more paper, we'll keep doing them," she said.

    People put up Christmas lights to spread cheer amid coronavirus pandemic

    As the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to escalate, people are finding a creative way to stay positive: digging out their Christmas lights.

    It might seem strange to see social media callouts for yuletide decorations halfway through March, but Twitter users are urging others to put lights up outside their homes as a sign of hope in this particularly dark time for so many.

    With school, work and virtually all public events canceled for an indefinite period, Mike Griffin and Lane Grindle thought putting lights up could be a safe social distancing activity to do with the kids.

    The hashtag "lightsforlife" has since gained traction online- with more and more users sharing pictures and videos of their decorations going up.

    "We want to make sure all our seniors are food secure for at least two weeks," said Yasna Grainger, community liaison for Southern Grace Hospice.

    That help is coming in the form of parents, teachers and teens stopping by to drop off food, water and disinfecting supplies.

    "Our patients really appreciate the community stepping up," Grainger said. "Please keep the donations coming."

    During the pandemic, David Gaus of Arlington, is reducing operations at Bayou Bakery. But with his extra time, Gaus is feeding community members in need.

    "The one thing I know how to do right now is cook so it's like, 'What can I do?' If I can make a big pot of beans and feed some people, that's kind of at its core of what this is."

    Gaus kicked off his initiative March 17. So far he's served 70 lunches with beans, rice and fresh fruit.

    "The main reason for getting this started was literally to take care of my team and their kids," Gaus said. "They're part of this effected issue with the schools closing."

    Gaus partnered with local community organizations like Real Food for Kids to plan and raise funds to fuel his operation.

    "We need all the positive energy that we can [get] right now, so it's been amazing," Gaus told "GMA."
