My son was diagnosed with a brain tumor in Nov. 2008 & not even five months later, he had passed away.
Cancer not only changed his journey through life, but those that knew him.

@brechtgirl@OldNewRight@PrometheanActn 😂😂😂 oh so you agree to his behavior on saying dumb things to reporters, sleeping at cabinet meetings, lying about his weight and the war and the ballroom and the Epstein files and ... I could go on but I can see you already look past that like he's done nothing wrong.
4.). This weekend is the inaugural Cedar Rapids Marathon
There will also be a half, 10 and 5k!
The great things about these races are the companies that rely on your support.
The Zach Johnson Foundation is the primary charity partner with His Hands Free Clinic being the secondary.
There is still time to help both!
The Zach Johnson Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of children and families in Cedar Rapids. If possible, please attend the expo on Saturday and bring school supplies, which will greatly benefit the youth in the Cedar Rapids Community School District.
There is also still time to donate to His Hands Free Clinic. This clinic helps those without insurance receive health care.
Here is the link to help online:

1.). Chapter six of 2026 begins today.
My post today is dedicated to the workers at the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
Next Sunday is the premier race of the Cedar Rapids Marathon. A 5k, 10k and half marathon will also take place.
The race will have thousands of runners running for many different reasons. Two of those runners, @jtlinder and Madison Hricik from the @CRGazetteSports will be dedicating their miles to Jim SloSiarek.
For more on why:

3.). Global Running Day!
https://t.co/duqDt4Sd82
When people say, one person can't make a difference, I turn that sentence into one person CAN make a difference.
My running is a little different but to all those I have run for, thank you.
I have one question: What does a GPS sketch mean to you?
It could be a name or a word. This will be used for a future project.

31.). As May concludes today, marking the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, it's essential to acknowledge the significance of mental well-being.
I. Am. Alive.
Every day presents an opportunity to experience a wide range of human emotions, including feeling important, resilient, kind, strong, safe, beautiful, judged, sad, happy, determined, inspirational, positive, broken, perfect, capable, impactful, free, fair, grateful, and thankful.
Mental health is a year-round concern that requires ongoing support and attention.
If you need assistance, please reach out to 988 or visit https://t.co/iAf34LD2ER for online support.

30.). I. Am. Forward.
Flash forward
Pay it forward
Push forward
Living in fast forward as Kenny Chesney would say.
Keep your gaze fixed on the horizon, focused intently on the path unfolding before you, just like a runner sprinting towards the finish line.
Though the past is unchangeable, your future is a blank canvas waiting for the brushstrokes of your determination.
Seize the opportunity to craft a brighter tomorrow by moving forward with purpose and passion.
Mental health awareness month. Day 30

29.). Last Friday in May.
I. Am. Fair.
Every day brings forth remarkable stories that spark meaningful conversations and inspire change.
Our freedom of speech and right to opinion are fundamental, and it's heartening to see them in action.
In Wisconsin, the Watertown school board initially barred the Watertown Wind Symphony students from performing 'A Mother of a Revolution,' a powerful instrumental piece inspired by Marsha P. Johnson, a pivotal figure in the 1969 Stonewall riots.
https://t.co/jiRBriGbvI
However, the Minocqua Brewing Company stepped in, inviting the symphony to play the piece and raise funds for instruments, prompting the school board to deny access to school-owned instruments.
Undeterred, the event drew widespread support, and the performance was rescheduled at the Barrymore Theater in Madison, showcasing the community's commitment to artistic expression and inclusivity.
Thanks to the Minocqua Brewing Company and the Barrymore Theater for championing this momentous occasion.

I am thankful.
I am thankful that sharing my journey through this gps project has allowed me to make a positive impact for various businesses and companies, keeping Armstrong's legacy alive since 2009.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am free. I have my freedom.
Today we honor those that paid the ultimate sacrifice with our military heroes.
To all the Gold Star families, your loved ones will never be forgotten and from one military veteran to another, I thank them for their service and their sacrifice made for this country.

24.). I am impactful.
In 2017, I pioneered this GPS sketching initiative, harnessing the power of running as a therapeutic outlet while inspiring others along the way.
A remarkable feat was achieving running 24 names in 24 hours, covering 87 miles in 2021.
I also had the privilege of running all 205 football kid captains through UI Children's.
My journey has taken me to 37 states, two Canadian provinces and Qatar, where I left a mark with at least one name. I successfully have represented all 99 Iowa Counties.
Running has been my sanctuary and creative outlet, breathing life into stories that inspire and uplift others.
I would say, running has been impactful to me and to those that I have crossed paths with.

23). Day 23 of Mental Health Awareness Month.
I. Am. Capable.
I possess the strength and determination to achieve anything I set my mind to.
Last night, I participated in The Night Watch Charity Run for the third year, supporting @UIchildrens
I am inspired by the resilience of the patients. As runners, walkers, and young participants on scooters circled Kinnick Stadium from dusk till dawn, we stood watch with those battling illness, reminding them they're not alone in their 24/7 fight.
I completed 13 laps - one for each of the 12 floors at the hospital and a special lap for Armstrong, tracing a path that resembles a halo around Kinnick.
There's still time to make a difference; all donations directly support the hospital

@johnpboyle I just saw a story you did back in 2022 about a young cancer patient named Gus. Unsure how he is doing now, but wanted to share this gps run with not only you, but for Gus and his family and friends.
