I met Brady MacDonald at a mastermind a few months ago expecting to talk business. I left following a group chat for a 300 mile run.
›
Brady is running a 50K, about 31 miles, in all 50 states on 50 consecutive days.
›
North Dakota's leg is Sunday, August 23, and it opens with a 5K at sunrise in the Badlands.
›
You can run it, walk it, or turn around whenever you want, and families are welcome.
›
The goal is $1 million for Make-A-Wish, which grants 100 wishes at roughly $10,000 each.
›
Per-state target is $20,000 to $40,000, so North Dakota can fund two or three wishes in one morning.
›
His last effort was 300 miles over two summits and $300,000 raised, after cramping head to toe at mile 22 in 105 degree heat with 277 miles still to go.
›
Before that he spent three days in a hospital bed, his wife told him he could never run again, and he answered by running 100 miles and raising $100,000.
›
Every state gets its own YouTube episode, and North Dakota's episode is whatever we show up and make it.
›
Donate any amount at zeroto100wishes.com, and businesses that want the North Dakota episode should talk to me about sponsoring.
The part I cannot shake is what he told me about why he does not quit, and it has nothing to do with running.

Williston Basin Airshow Takes Flight August 15th
The Williston Basin Airshow returns to Williston Airport on August 15th from 12:00 to 4:30 PM. One of the bigger summer events the area puts on, and worth getting out for. Tickets and guest information are available at flywilliston.net/airshow.php or call 701-875-8594.
Prices jumped and inventory pulled back. Sellers regained the edge.
THE TAKEAWAY
The Bakken firmed up this week. Williston and Dickinson both saw prices climb and inventory tighten. Watford City eased on price but homes are taking longer to move. What we're seeing on the ground: sellers who held the line are getting rewarded now that summer supply is thinning.
