When quarantine first started, I was under the impression that the only marathon-like activity I would be participating in would be that of the "bingeing" variety on Netflix from the safety and warmth of my couch. 

Well that reality was unfortunately short lived. This is a forewarning to not open emails from your boss on Sunday mornings! Some have hidden agendas to get you to participate in prolonged cardiovascular activities. 

Eric Burl and I will be participating in the Yeti Ultra 24 Hour Challenge. The premise is simple: to run 5 miles every 4 hours for 24 hours straight (30 miles all in). We plan on running from 730PM EST May 7th to 730PM EST May 8th. In the wake of recent events involving COVID-19, we thought it would be timely to add a fundraising component and help those in need during these devastating and uncertain times. With that in mind, we are raising money for Food Bank for New York City. 

The demand for food by those in need is rising at an extraordinarily rapid rate as a result of the implications of COVID-19. Food Bank for New York City's mission is to end hunger by organizing food, information and support for community survival, empowerment, and dignity. Food Bank For New York City has been working to end food poverty in our five boroughs for over 35 years. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people turning to their emergency food network has increased by 50%. Your donation will go to helping Food bank for New York City's mission statement. more info on them here:

We would be incredibly grateful if you would consider donating to this cause. Any donation size is welcomed. Every $1 donated provides 5 meals for those in need. 

For those who are interested - feel free to join us (the more the merrier!). The registration link is below. Please let me know if interested and we can coordinate efforts:

For those most interested in my suffering, I will be doing 50 push-ups every 4 hour as well!
