And we’d like to extend an extra special congrats to Guude for getting engaged to girlfriend Jess on the event’s last day!
I have never been as happy as I have been since meet Jess and I couldn’t think of any better way to ask her to spend the rest of our lives together than surrounded by all my best friends at the Mindcrack Marathon!

We have just a few more weeks to raise funds to change kids’ health in 2021. We’re nearing our $100 million raised milestone since 2008. You could be the person that pushes us past that milestone. Donations go to local hospitals to fund critical life-saving treatments and healthcare services, along with innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, child life services that put kids’ and families’ minds at ease during difficult hospital stays and financial assistance for families who could not otherwise afford these health services.
Ways you can continue to help Extra Life in 2021:
