HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Every mile endurance athlete Brady McDonald puts on his body is another step away from his former self.<\/p>\n

In 2023, he traded a thirst for alcohol for a pair of running shoes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t a runner. I hired a coach. I trained for four months. I ran a 50-mile ultra-marathon in the Florida Keys and ended up in the hospital, but I won it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On his track record are finishes in some of the most grueling footraces known to man, including the Moab 240-mile ultramarathon and the Arizona Monster 300.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He says God is his higher power.<\/p>\n

\u201dI clearly am not strong enough to do this by myself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Now, the Florida real estate investor has his sights set on a new finish line. He calls it Zero to 100. It\u2019s a partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation that will help critically ill children.<\/p>\n

\u201dI\u2019m going to run 50K, that\u2019s 31 miles in all 50 states, in 50 consecutive days. The money will pay for 100 wishes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The trek is scheduled to start on July 25 in Orlando and end on Sept. 12 in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

But the running is just the attention getter. The goal is to raise $1 million for kids who rely on Make-A-Wish to make their dreams come true.<\/p>\n

\u201dWhat we\u2019re trying to do here is ultimately give them some hope when all they\u2019re living in is fear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Camping World has come on board, supplying McDonald with two RVs \u2014 one for a film crew that will document his 50-state runathon and post daily video updates on YouTube, and one for his family who\u2019ll travel along for support.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201dMy wife does have the ability to pull the trigger for some reason if I have to go to the hospital,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve got some backup plans in my head. There\u2019s no way I\u2019m going to let the children or the mission down.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s planned it all out, down to the time it will take to run a 50K and then drive to the next state to do all over again. That includes getting to Alaska and an airplane ride to the 50th state, where he hopes to go the extra mile on Day 50 by running the entire circumference of Oahu.<\/p>\n

\u201dIt\u2019s probably a bad idea to say before I start, but it\u2019s on the agenda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
