This edifying young man is a traditional Catholic. What he is doing is admirable, and is filling a big void that exists in young men currently being drawn in to the “new stoicism.” Please read the whole article and send to young men you know!
Johnny Kuplack has embarked on a 100-day run to Auriesville, New York, where his 3,500-mile jog will end at the National Shrine of the North American Martyrs, which was just designated a national shrine by the U.S. bishops.
(Jeremy Beer/National Catholic Register) — Johnny Kuplack puts down his cappuccino and springs up to greet me. He has the stereotypically lithe, compact body of a distance runner. I learn that, after our meeting, while I grind through a 25-minute workout, Kuplack will do a quick 5-kilometer run up and down Phoenix’s Camelback Mountain. Then do it again.
For Kuplack, that’s a light morning, a way to stay loose as he prepares for the main event. In a few days, he’ll run 35 miles, or thereabouts. He’ll do the same the next day, and the next — for 100 consecutive days. Starting on Jan. 18 at Dana Point, California, he began a run to Auriesville, New York, where his 3,500-mile jog will end at the National Shrine of the North American Martyrs, which was just designated a national shrine by the U.S. bishops.
Why would anyone do this?
