- I'm walking 26.3 miles
Howdy,
First, let’s welcome the 97 readers who have joined the crew over the last 30 days 😄
Today's Estimated Read Time: 3 minutes 16 seconds.
Ok, we’re doing a thing 🥾🌄🥾
So…
We’ve decided to go on a 26.3-mile hike (in one day!) in order to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation — our goal is to help grant wishes for children with critical illnesses (unfortunately, about half don’t get granted).
Our goal is to make this a “Team Mobile Rundown” thing and have you be a part!!
Every donor will get to play a role — we’ll thank you by name in our weekly email, add you to our private group, and do something fun and crazy on the hike to include you (TBD 😉)
You can make a donation here — let’s do this!

Mushu - Krewe de Rescue
From Krewe de Rescue:
“Hi! My name is Mushu! My foster family calls me Honey because I’m just so SWEET! I’m about 8 years old. I LOVE children, other dogs, and cats too. Because I am an older gal I like to sleep on the couch and cuddle most of the time. My life has not always been as good as it is now. I was rescued with 25 other dogs as part of an animal cruelty case. I had mange, was full of intestinal parasites, and also had a inguinal hernia. I am also heartworm positive but have started on slow-kill treatment. I had surgery for the hernia, my skin has cleared up, the parasites are gone, and am ready for my forever home.
I do like to play with my foster dog brother occasionally. I am crate-trained and leash-trained. I would love to find my own family to cuddle with! Adopt me!
My adoption fee is $175. If you are interested, please complete the application here.”
