Dear Readers,

I am making a direct appeal for assistance with my ongoing fundraiser. Wednesday morning, I will run 100 miles to raise money for a Catholic medical clinic in a small town in Malawi.

No – it is not “over a few days.” It will probably take about 26-27 hours… Small breaks, no “stopping for the night.” This is the REAL THING. After a year of training, and a successful 50-mile run some weeks ago, I am ready for the challenge.

If you want to sponsor a whole mile, it is $250 – well over a year’s salary for many Malawians. I will give you a shout out on the course if you donate $250 by 7AM Rome time on Wednesday morning! It’s a, “This mile’s for you” kind of thing…

The page is here:

Even a $50 donation goes a LONG WAY.

My goal is for $1,000 to come from THIS blog post. Will you be part of that accomplishment?

There is also a WhatsApp group you can join for live race updates, including a live location tracker (only visible from your phone) – this is where you’ll get the shout-out:

I hope to return to more normal blogging after the run. It has been an unbelievable experience to plan this whole thing… And it is just the beginning of some bigger things… I’m glad you’re along for the ride.

God bless you,
-Eamonn
