This is where I share relevant commitments I have made to others, when they are happening, and additional relevant details.The Road to October 24 is a capstone project for what may be the best of my days ahead.
Upcoming Commitments can include The Road to October 24 and more.
Ongoing Commitments includes things that are for, well, ongoing. I think everyone reading this is clear on the concept.

🧠 Summary
RUN UNTIL I DIE 2026 is a structured, purpose-driven project running from May through October 2026.
It is a challenge to take care of myself, improve the quality of life in my communities, and celebrate with a big event on October 24.
What This Is
Each month includes a meaningful activity—primarily 5Ks, community events, or service opportunities—designed to:
Find and Support charitable causes and communities
while Staying active to support my health
and Spend intentional time with people who matter
and supports my core value “be a great community member”.
The project builds toward a final milestone on October 24, 2026: the BIG “[REDACTED]” party.
What This Is NOT
This is not a request for donations to either the event’s cause or me.
This is not a request for anyone to feel like they need to join me for any event except the [REDACTED] one.
You are more than welcome to join me if it sounds like a good time for you. But definitely chase your passion and something else if any event is not your jam (or ice cream or…ya know).

🙋 How People Can Be Supportive
Be an event photographer/videographer (of more than me, of course). Make the memories I have never been able to. 😛
Join an event: Use the links above when registration is available.
Does this cause resonate with you? Donate or volunteer directly with the event staff (maybe—sounds like something with social skill could tell you more about).
Celebrate on October 24: More details coming later.
🧾 Notes Before You Join
Some event details may change as official race pages update.
I’ll keep this page updated with better links, arrival times, and meetup plans as I confirm them.
For race-day safety, I’ll have emergency contact and medical bracelet information with me.
🙌 Closing
