Finished support FKT on 2/27/23. Total time: 4 days, 16 hours, 25 minutes, and change! Ah, but for the help of Amy Mathews, Jeff Stephens, Andrea Moxey, and the fabulous, the patient, and the motivational Mark Cudak (among others), this tiny ship was tossed!

Tomorrow (02/13/2023) is the big day- kicking off the lollipop 240 (evening time). 

I’ll be starting the Lollipop April 3 self supported. 

I'll be heading out for a self-supported attempt on Friday, April 5th.

I begun the route Friday April 5th and finished Monday April 8th.  My time was 76 hours, 53 minutes, 35 seconds.  I have submitted the appropriate documents and am awaiting approval of the self-supported FKT. It was an incredible, life changing journey that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies.

I will be heading out on an unsupported Lollipop on December 21st.  Â
