DID IT! 103.5 miles as of last night! I'll keep going. And I'll keep asking for your help!
Rally with me, to rally for all our the kids stuck at home!

Outward Bound IS PART OF THE SOLUTION for our current crises!
My challenge to myself is to run 100 miles, and 'prayerditate' every day in the month of October. Join me!
For those of you who know me, you know how much I love and admire the work of Outward Bound California. I have been involved with Outward Bound locally and nationally for more than 15 years. I am an alum, I've worked for them, I've been the Board Chair for Outward Bound California, and am still currently on the Board.
In light of all things COVID, firestorms and social unrest, I'm creating my own event that will challenge, restore, or give back to my community and myself. I'm raising money so that OBCA can lean in to help schools and their kids who are in crisis. We are working to embed Outward Bound work around resilience, grit and leadership into schools' new way of having to teach.
With your support, all funds that I raise will support Ropes Course programs and attendance for students in OBCA’s partner schools. OBCA's new ropes challenge course, built in partnership with San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, is in McLaren Park, located in one of the most under-resourced neighborhoods in San Francisco, will provide outdoor youth leadership training to students right in their backyards.
This is unlike any other event OBCA has ever hosted! I can’t wait to watch this community rally together, find connection, restore and create something powerful. Everyone, especially today’s youth, needs the healing, basic human need for equitable access to the outdoors. That’s why I need your support!
Any amount you can donate will help young people from economically vulnerable communities to get outside, challenge themselves, and discover that there is more in them than they realize. Even in this virtual space, we can be #ResilientTogether. What will YOU rally for?
Sincerely, Kevin

Okay. I have been killing it. I'm up to 88 miles. Had a repeat foot injury, so had to move to the stationary bike more, and run less. But, so it goes. Trying to keep mindfulness at the fore. I am 'prayditating' every day as well, for all of us trying to get through it all. Help me help our schools!

Hi, all. I'm up to 54 miles, and a bunch of mindfulness for my family, my friends, my country. Basically, all of you! A mix of some hill runs, some garage stationary bike rides. ALL TO HELP ME HELP OUTWARD BOUND HELP OUR KIDS AND SCHOOLS!

Hey all. I have been doing what I've been setting out to do. Another 10k yesterday, and collectively another 6.5 miles on two other runs this week. I'm adding rides on the stationary bike now, too, given that the smoke from the fires can impinge on healthy running. So, I put an air purifier in the garage, and get after it! So, add another 10 miles on the bike. SO: grand total of 34 miles. And, I have been 'prayditating' every day. I'll start logging those daily as I do them, and try to keep you all notified of progress. HELP US HELP OUR KIDS AND SCHOOLS! DONATE TODAY!

I'm jumping the gun, and started the runs. 11 miles in the past couple of days, and have been 'prayerditating' every day, focusing on compassion, collaboration, moderation. Trying to be FIERCELY CIVIL. I admit, that's hard for me sometimes. But I'm working on it! HELP ME HELP OUR KIDS AND SCHOOLS! GIVE TODAY! i don't ask for funds from you all often, so you know how important this is.
