Ha! Me a millenial? Not even close, JFK was President when I was born. I despise participation trophies, medals and graduation ceremonies before HS. You underestimate the gullible masses, Kavinoky will get away with this scam.

There's still lots that can be done. Contacting sponsors and the media and the tv shows he's on.

Exposing Rob Young really took off and his life as a freeloading scammer was ended.

It CAN be the same for this goon. But it would help to FIND him an get some video evidence.

What about trailing the RV after he leaves a tv studio after an interview?

Whatever happens, he will never be taken seriously by runners.

re: Getting away with it

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:

re: Old Timer Troll

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?

re: Old Timer Troll

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.

re: Old Timer Troll

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.

re: Old Timer Troll

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

Forgotten Mom, Inc
Help us get the news out. With #DarrenKavinoky and his #RunAcrossAmerica, we're raising awareness of @TheForgottenMom and helping mothers who battle addiction. Please repost and share with your friends and family.
Andy Tavin
#DarrenKavinoky has been cheating on this #RunAcrossAmerica by riding in the RV most of the way. He never sweats even in record high temperatures in the desert amongst lots of other evidence. He even cheated in the 2011 San Diego Marathon.
Forgotten Mom, Inc
We are aware of the injuries that have prevented him from running his expected 50 miles a day. But we hope you still consider the Forgotten Mom non-profit, doing grassroots work to get expectant and new moms struggling with addiction much needed assistance. Programs are costly for any mom and rare for expectant mothers, so any donation helps get a woman counseling as needed to get her through her journey. We appreciate you taking the time to respond
Andy Tavin
So you are aware that Darren Kavinoky has been riding in the RV across the country instead of running or biking like he says?

re: jinxy cat

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:

"In this problem with same-sex marriage, the church cannot accept this because it's immoral," said Dr. Hector A. Chiesa, president of Radio Vision Cristiana 1330 AM, one of the largest Christian Spanish radio stations in New York.
"The church has to be prepared because God is going to hold us accountable for the sin of the people like Sodom and Gomorrah," he continued. "That is the reality. That's why Sodom and Gomorah were destroyed because of homosexuality and lesbianism and the abuse of women and children."
Chiesa also urged New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who proposed the same-sex marriage bill, to allow state residents to vote on the issue instead of acting like a dictator.
"If you believe you have the votes to pass this law, take it to the people," said the radio president. "Let the people vote! Let the people decide! Don't do it like Mussolini."
He also said the governor's actions go against the Bible and against morality.

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?

SEPTEMBER 25, 2015 BY
INFO@WEBDS.COM
â€œDr. Robin is by far, one of the leading expert voices on the topics of addiction, behavioral health, and mental illness. While she has captivated millions with her national media presence, it is her ability to connect with people in crisis and guide them to a life-changing solution that makes her a true master of her domain.â€
â€“ Darren Kavinoky

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.

re: Bigotted Christian

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.

re: Posers

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.

re: if those are allies

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?

re: RossMart

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.

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