Aloha. Quick update on my fundraiser supporting World Central Kitchen’s meals program for S. Calif. wildfire victims.

So far, donations total $700, with much of it coming from folks here in Shrewd’m. Thank you!

As noted previously, to encourage donations I’ll be doing a 75-mile quadrathlon (of my own design) next month in Honolulu. I’m still tweaking the plan, but I expect it will be a 1.2-mile ocean swim followed by an 8.2-mile outrigger canoe paddle, a 56-mile bike ride, and a 9-mile run. I need to do it in Feb. for two reasons: 1. I need to train for it; 2. I turn 76 in March, and I don’t want to have to add another mile to it.

The training’s been going well, mostly running and paddling so far, but I did a 36-mile bike ride today, and it felt manageable.

I’d be greatly encouraged if we could get the donation total over the $1000 mark, though. Any amount you can chip in will be greatly appreciated. As you will see when you click the link, all funds go directly to WCK, not to me. And you can donate anonymously if you prefer. Mahalo!
