What this is all about

Thanks for checking out my blog about my journey to run 8 marathons in all seven continents plus New Zealand over the course of 8 consecutive days (yup, that's 209.6 miles over the course of 8 days.) This isn't just a mid-life crisis, I'm hoping to raise money for the Children's Fund at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford. 

The fund helps kids and families get great care and funds amazing programs for sick kids who are hospital bound. One such program, Pet Therapy, brings animals to meet some of the long stay kids and is a wonderful boost to their spirits. 

I plan to post images of my experiences during my travels that begin in January, 2020 and really appreciate any donations that will make the pain worthwhile.
