Why are you doing this challenge?

On my 27th birthday, I received the news that my 26-year-old cousin died of prostate cancer. That moment made clear that disease doesn't wait — and that I need to do something while I still can.

How can I support this cause?

You can donate to fund cancer research, or reach out at contact@hanielrolemberg.com if you know a company that wants to contribute.

What happened to the 2.4 km surplus from week 2?

It carries forward as a buffer. In week 3 I returned to the standard 17 km/day target — the surplus doesn't change the daily goal, it just means I have a small cushion going into the remaining weeks.

Back to the standard target after week 2's debt repayment. Seven days, 119 km.

The +2.4 km surplus from week 2 carries forward as a buffer into week 4.

I'm in my last semester of college — updates have been minimal and I know that. The moment the final exams are done, I'll post everything: videos, blog entries, the full picture of these weeks. It's all coming.

Week 4 starts now.

I'm here to raise funds for cancer research.

I used to hear that prevention was enough — but then I found out it isn't. There are far more variables than we can imagine. The best path forward is a cure. Make your donation. Let's be part of this together.
