In 2021 I jogged the 37-mile Frisco Highline Trail for the first time with my event.  In 2022 I jogged the Frisco Highline Trail 2 straight days because, why not? LOL.  74 grueling miles for a dad-bod like me.  In 2023, rather than going for 3 days of trails, I did 4 straight days of stairclimbing at 4 locations at the corners of the state (4 Corners 4 a Cure, or 4C4 for short). The June 19th in KC, the 20th in ST. Louis, the 21st in Cape Girardeau, and the 22nd in Springfield. Why? We need a cure!  AND, 9x4=36 and The 36 Hour Day is the best book I have found for Alzheimer's caregiving. 

I am thinking...Frisco again in 2024. I still have a rotund, Dad-Bod, so I don't think I can run it 3 days in a row.  The 2 days two years ago was quite bad. If I want to survive for the 2025 event, I need to have a different plan. ;)  However, walking the 37 miles, perhaps the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday might just be doable. 37 miles divided by 3 MPH pretty much eats up the sunlight for the day. The 2022 event I started super early to try to beat the heat and, let me put it like this: You Ain't Lived Until You Walk the Trail in Pitch Darkness.  Eyes in the trees, spider webs, and very likely a Bigfoot or two!  There are some great videos and pictures in my blog recaps. 

Ideas for this event will be forthcoming.  I have all sorts of tricks up my sleeve. I will certainly live stream large parts, like always, and let you in on this beautiful stretch of our Ozarks. I will share tips, play some games, and do a variety of things to keep it real. :)  Stay tuned for this week as it evolves. 

These events are quite the shark jumps...but I need your help too. Please consider a donation by the end of June when this event is officially over, and preferably before the June 2024 as an extra encouragement for me as I lumber along in getting ready! :) 

100% of this page's donation method goes to the Alzheimer's Association. They do so much in terms of funding research and helping caregivers, that they are a great place to invest in those suffering. The donation page for SeniorAge is on my website found at Digitalcornbread.com on the Runnin' Til I'm Purple/4C4 tab. :)  Please consider donations to SeniorAge as well! They are each worth every penny as we fight this disease and care for those who have it!

Thank you very much!  Off we go! :)​"
