I enjoy some reaction YouTubers. These are videos where the hosts react to television shows, movies, and in most cases…music. I recently stumbled upon the channel Rob Squad Reactions, and I have not missed an episode ever since…and that’s not one..not two…but three videos every single day, including weekends! The Rob Squad are the...

Sgt. Adam Thornton
The first hero I am running for on this journey is Sgt. Adam Thornton. I asked the people of 22 Too Many if there were any families on the list from the New Orleans area, and they gave me Adam. Here is his story from the web site: SGT Adam Joseph Thornton passed away...
22 Too Many
In what is perhaps bigger news than running in my 11th state is that I found an incredible organization, called 22 Too Many, which I will be running for from here on out – including local races. I discovered this organization through Kate Champion’s book, Never Too Late. The book shines the spotlight on 7 amazing...

It’s Never Too Late to Find Your Path
