Meet Clifton: hospice mascot, morale officer, and the real athlete in this partnership. He’s taking on a year of epic 2026 challenges — including supervising a 100‑mile castle‑to‑castle run — and he’s graciously allowing his human (that’s me) to tag along and do the actual sweating. Also featuring: Bob the Cockerpoo, who is deeply jealous of Clifton’s rising fame but unlikely to make the full mileage unless there are snacks every half‑mile. Bob will be offering emotional support, dramatic sighs, and occasional cameo appearances when out training. They are both far more photogenic and significantly better at morale‑boosting than I am.
Follow along, donate if you can, and watch Clifton carry this mission while Bob negotiates for better treats and I question my life choices.
