This morning I took part in the virtual Divided Sky Fun(d) Run 5K, benefiting the Divided Sky Foundation and its recovery treatment center in Ludlow, Vermont co-founded by Trey Anastasio of Phish.
Started five years ago by the Antelope Running Club, this event is a great example of how a community can come together, have fun and support an important cause. ✨
I decided to push beyond the 5K and ran 10K today, setting a new personal best in the process. 🔥
Just a few years ago, I couldn’t run for more than a minute without feeling like I was going to collapse. Today, running is such a part of my life that I feel off on the days I don’t do it. My doctors tell me I’m healthier now than I’ve ever been.
Not a bad place to be at 53.
If you’ve ever thought about running but weren’t sure where to start or didn’t think you could do it, feel free to send me a DM. If I can do it, you absolutely can too. 🏃🏽♂️🐠❤️

P.S…LET’S GO KNICKS!
Today is the day.
BIG Weekend 2026 starts tonight at Coleman Brook Tavern with Musicians and Mocktails, featuring Divided Sky alumni Sean Leahy and Kate Gaffney sharing their stories and their songs. Then the night opens into the Campfire Jam with Anders Osborne, Jackie Greene, and Daniel Donato, acoustic in-the-round under the Vermont sky.
That is how you start a weekend.
Three days of music, movement, and everything that makes this life genuinely good. Right here at Jackson Gore with our friends at The Phoenix.
We are so glad you are here.

“All you have to do is this much strength: white flag. I lose. The war is over. I lost. I surrender. And then just walk through the door and give up. Which is really hard, but that’s it. Just call the intake, say, ‘I am completely hopeless, help,’ and then take the help.”
- Trey Anastasio, Co-Founder, Divided Sky Foundation

"The event last year was great, but there was absolutely nothing like the feeling of that room on Friday night. That was, personally, a high-water mark in my entire life."
Our Program Director, Ross, shared this reflection with our team this week as we prepare for another Big Weekend. He was talking about the moment our dining room filled with Divided Sky alumni.
It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of a big event. But Ross's words are a beautiful reminder of why we actually do this work. We do it for the moments when people who once felt entirely alone realize they are surrounded by a community that understands them. We do it to help people rediscover how to authentically be themselves.
As Ross put it: "Can you even believe we get to do that together?"
Yes, we can. And we are so grateful for everyone who is doing this thing with us.
