Support Dumb Runner (It’s Easy!)

Dear Reader,

I don't ask much of you, but right now I have a request: If you value Dumb Runner, please chip in to help pay for it.

Here's the deal: Reading Dumb Runner is free, but creating it is not. In addition to hard costs like web hosting, software fees, and stock photo purchases, I spend 25 to 30 hours a week producing, sharing, and maintaining content through DumbRunner.com and The Dumb Digest.

I don't take ads (or anything else) from any brand or company. I don't do "sponsored posts," or affiliate links, or any of that. I write with one audience, and one audience only, in mind: You. In turn, I depend on you for support.

So if you value what I deliver every week—and the fact that it's independent and ad-free—please show your appreciation by making a contribution. Below are three easy ways to do so. Thanks!

Yours Truly,
Mark
