Why the run?:

"I don't get outside very often and it seemed like a good opportunity to indulge myself on some air and try to remember how to walk, think and so on. I figure that the wilderness is there either to test or slay a young human. Don is like a panda in his appeal and a tower of strength, hence I'll be dancing my way through that desert with both the confidence of a rain god and a cool daddy warbucks panache."

"All I can see ahead of me is a long lifetime of pain and journalism. So before starting the next year of study I'd like to do something interesting enough to talk about until I finish. It is a huge trek for Don, a great tale for us the crew and means to support a weighty cause."
