Have you ever wondered how a simple cheek swab could save someone's life? In this deeply moving episode, we're joined by representatives from the National Marrow Donor Program who explain how their registry connects blood cancer patients with life-saving donors. Our guest Abby shares her powerful personal journey of receiving a stem cell transplant that cured her cancer, reminding us that sometimes the most profound acts of heroism come from anonymous strangers willing to donate.The heart of this episode centers on the Loopy Looper relay ultramarathon in New Jersey, where three teams of Rise and Run and Will Run For community members gathered to honor their friend Erin. Their stories of perseverance, camaraderie, and celebration showcase what makes our running community so special. From sharing hoagies Lady-and-the-Tramp style to completing the final 3.75-mile loop together while some wore weighted vests, these runners demonstrate that the miles we share mean more than the ones we run alone.We also dive into exciting runDisney news, including a thorough breakdown of the Disneyland Halloween race weekend event guide (just four weeks away!) and spirited discussion about the newly announced Muppets-themed 12Ks of Christmas virtual races. Greg's passionate reaction to the Muppets finally getting runDisney recognition – and his mild disappointment they didn't use the Muppet Christmas Carol – highlights the deep connection many of us feel to these beloved characters.Whether you're training for an upcoming Disney race, considering ways to give back through running, or simply looking for inspiration from fellow runners, this episode reminds us that running creates connections that transcend the miles.

Join Jim and Greg for Monday's 3 Martini Lunch as they sift through three controversies, including President Trump trying to turn the page from the Epstein scandal, disturbing reports about Biden's staff handling presidential pardons, and the X account of Elmo from Sesame Street spewing vile anti-Semitism after allegedly getting hacked.First, they break down the long Truth Social post from President Trump urging an end to MAGA infighting over the Justice Department's announcement that there was no Epstein client list, no children were ever exploited, and Epstein did kill himself. Trump also says the Epstein files that do exist were written by President Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Comey, and others. But this effort to move on seems to have accomplished exactly the opposite.Next, they dig into a New York Times report revealing that Joe Biden did not specifically choose many of the people he pardoned near the end of his term. He allegedly worked on the criteria for the pardons would be based but his staff ended up choosing the names and signing them with an autopen. So, will these pardons stand up to legal scrutiny?Finally, they cringe as the X account of Elmo, yes Elmo the Muppet, is reportedly hacked after a series of ugly tweets calling for killing all of the Jews. Even assuming it was hacked, Jim suspects this could help to kill taxpayer funding for PBS. Both Jim and Greg are also glad they were old enough to miss the Elmo era entirely on Sesame Street.Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors' appointments and go to https://zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top rated doctor today.  If your business can't adapt in real-time, you're in a world of hurt.  Get the free e-book “Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders” from NetSuite by Oracle.  Download today at https://NetSuite.com/MARTINI No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.
