Can someone keep an eye on this guy (run across America)

I'm trying to get the 4Chan Alternative Sports page interested in this scam but it seems they have higher standards for what counts as interesting than we do. Note the 4Chan thread may disappear if it drops off the 10th page:

http://boards.4chan.org/asp/thread/2648930

And the 4Chan thread has been deleted. They really do have higher standards for threads than we do on LRC. Shocking. Rojo, can we start posting porn like 4Chan?

The cheaters have a new podcast video up today where they recount their path they've followed. They also revealed that they are newbie cyclists which is another piece of evidence that they are faking the huge distances they are claiming.

He makes reference to Mikel Schwarz at ribbed tee providing him with kit. I've emailed the company to let them know they are sponsoring a scam. Suggest others do the same.

On the Facebook messenger someone asked the following question:

What is the percentage breakdown of actually running, biking and riding in the RV?

It has not been deleted yet. Or answered.

We now have some allies over at SlowTwitch:

I'll do some e-mailing to Kavinoky's sponsors. Not sure if that will get anywhere since I don't trust them since some of their products and services are even more dodgy than this run.

Just like with KP Kelley, you guys let him get away.

This is not your father's LRC anymore. For shame.

We are too busy dealing with your mom.

Good Facebook posting opportunity on a Forgotten Mom post that just came up talking Kavinoky's "#RunAcrossAmerica":

Only money is important for Kavinoky's charity it seems and cheating doesn't matter.

forgotten mom twitter has 15 followers

could be legit i suppose

but i wonder what it was that attracted darren to them, or them to darren?

Oh, this is too easy. It's obvious why Kavinoky went with Forgotten Mom. They are all (bigotted) Catholic Christians and Kavinoky has endorsed one of them in the past.Take a read through the Forgotten Mom Board Members page. There are 4 of them and all are Christians. Three of them are Catholic ministers. Two of them stand out right now: Bishop Dr. Hector A. Chiesa and Dr. Robin BarnettHector Chiesa is the head of Forgotten Mom and is a highly prominent bigoted Catholic Christian that is VERY anti-gay:

Robin Barnett is the direct connection to Darren Kavinoky. On the very front of her website is a testimonial from Kavinoky. She wrote a book about how to fight addiction and is actively trying to promote it right now. She also appears in TV shows like Kavinoky does. What better way to sell more copies of her book than to charge them to a charity and get Kavinoky going around the country raising tax free money for you?

In short, Forgotten Mom is a very bad charity that is ran by bigoted Christians that are anti-gay and who uses "addiction" to brainwash people in need into becoming Christians. Downvote them and spread the word.

I found the Amazon page for Barnett's book and surprise, Kavinoky's name is on the front cover for writing the forward for it. That Forgotten Mom is really all about self-promotion for these miscreants.

Triathletes are pretty useless. They just read LRC and then rehash the interesting threads on their forum. They're too self-absorbed to investigate anything beyond how badly their swim stroke sucks. Remember that these are the people who think running 30 mpw is Big Mileage.

Yeah, they're an odd bunch. I read slowtwitch for a little bit because my wife was thinking of doing an ironman. There's a guy there whose entire identity revolves around posting about LRC threads and dropping Mike Rossi's name into every thread. It's like he's embarrassed to be a triathlete and somehow thinks it's cooler to be associated with LRC. Weird.

So I just checked out the slowtwitch thread. Is this your guy?

I think he posts here as well. Unless it's someone just using the same name to troll him. Hey RandMart, what's the deal? You're trying too hard, and giving us a bad name. Stick to triathlon, wouldya?

Can you quit derailing the thread with triathalete bashing? Making fun of them is like making fun of crossfitters. It's way too easy. Stick to the task at hand. We need this to be about Kavinoky.

really everyone?

no jokes abour dr. robin being a "leading voice" in sex addiction?

this place is seriously losing it

I've messaged some of the sponsors about Kavinoky and the anti-gay Forgotten Mom "charity", will see what comes out of it.
