We begin the show with Mark Backes, a 60 year old California man who is running across America to raise awareness and funding for Parkinsons Disease thru the Michael J Fox Foundation. His father had Parkinsons, and his wife was just diagnosed, which inspired the 3000 mile journey that will take about 75 days. You can learn more and donate thru his website ultrafunrun.com/runmarkrun/.
