Hello to my millions of fans & supporters of disability rights. It's that time of year again for the ADAPT Fun Run (Virtual again this year due to the pandemic). The date, May 1, 2021, is the same day as the Kentucky Derby. Coincidence? I don't think so.

As usual, I'm limiting this strenuous, stressfull, fatiguing, bone jarring endeavor to one grueling virtual lap which will consist of going from my place to the Hancock Center HEB & back. I intend to be stopped several times by the paparazi for photographs, autographs, schmoozing, & miscellaneous admiration. I may also obtain groceries.

Using unscientific methods & some interpolation, I have come to the conclusion/guesstimation that the length of time from the start of the pandemic until this May 1 Fun Run is 416 days. Therefore, I'm requesting a donation of $4.16 per lap. My limiting myself to one lap, as referred to before, is in order to avoid economic hardship to my donors & so that I may quickly return home to view the Kentucky Derby.

Again this year I'll be running (actually, virtually, or otherwise) to raise funds for ADAPT of Texas (2012 Chronicle Best Champions for Equal Access award winner) & the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities (CTD), a statewide advocacy organization.

Thanks for your people freeing support!
