Do what you can do! (creative adventures / racing during COVID)

There's some pretty epic solo adventures happening. Here are 2 of them in the news recently besides IC's 100/100.

#1. Dave Proctor - run across Alberta Canada (537km in < 72 hours sometime over the next month)
Note: he does most of his stuff for "OutrunRare", which is a non-profit to raise money and awareness for the 1000s of rare diseases that plague us. He planned to run across Canada last year (postponed due to COVID) and again this year (postponed again). He chose to do something that he can do given the restrictions.

#2. Don Muchow - run from Disneyland to Disneyworld ("Mouse to Mouse" challenge)
Note: he's a Type 1 diabetic. Great stuff! (he started pre-COVID, and finished earlier this week after a few months off)

Side note... I love the work that Dave Proctor does to raise awareness regarding rare diseases. My 2 sons both have extremely rare genetic disorders (only 6 families known in the world that share the same gene mutation). The work he's doing is noteworthy.
2nd side note... as a MODY diabetic (often classified as something most similar to type 1 but onset as an adult), I am passionate about doing epic things like Don did.

Be inspired to keep doing stuff like IC does, or Dave, or Don.
Do what you can do!
Get out and do great stuff, even if you don't get the attention you deserve.
