11 miles to #uniteforsafecare

Jul 18, 2020
 

Inspired by Dr. David Mayer, who is walking across the United States to every professional baseball field, I took an 11-mile walk through Minneapolis. Did you know there are over 40 miles of connected parkways from Minneapolis to St. Paul, MN? This is just one reason I love this city. The people are my primary reason! I am looking forward to introducing several to you.

While I'm on this leg of the Zigzag For Zero, I'll be conducting several interviews, including family members who will speak to their experiences with Yogiraj. Stay tuned. 

Want to make my miles count for safe care? Your pledge would mean a lot!

Walking Through Minneapolis

Jul 17, 2020
 

While preparing for a longer walk, it's great to get out for five or so miles nearly every day. In the city of Minneapolis, along the miles of green space, I find myself at home. Though this is not the city of my birth, it is the place that sparked my creativity as an adult. Today, I am out on a walk with beloved Theodore Charles Bates III, who is Yogiraj's beloved middle son. 

 

What systems are safe for all?

May 30, 2020
 

Walking several miles to raise awareness about medical safety is helping me process the latest evidence of systemic racism - the excruciating death of Mr. George Floyd. I've been looking for models that have created systems that are safe for all. If you have some to point to, please pass them along.
