Jovian Concepts, Inc.’s Post

Hello, everyone! I know it's been a moment, and I want to update you on some exciting news. As many of you know, I have a thing for resiliency running and fundraising. So, I've decided to team up with the Marine Reconnaissance Foundations' (MRF) Athletics Program. As a member of the Endurance Team, we'll support the MRF mission by raising money to "provide emergency and recurring support, and related programs, to active-duty, reserve, retired, and former Reconnaissance Marines and Sailors, and their families." Is it tax deductible? Heck yeah, because the MRF is a 501(c)(3)! What does it all entail you ask? Well, 3 Lines of Effort focus on 1) Deliberate & Reoccuring Programs, 2) Emergent or Emergency Support, and 3) Promote & Preserving the Reconnaissance Legacy. There are a lot of sub-points under these, which is why I'm adding a few slides below to aid in understanding; DMing works too! You may ask, why is this important to you, Jay? And, I'll tell you this: Throughout my active & retired years, I have witnessed this organization provide support when the service couldn't do it promptly. There are instances where unique rules delay family members from traveling (air, train, rental car, etc...) to their loved ones. In other instances, financial support was provided to families that had lost their service members. Instances like these are where the MRF steps in. The MRF can disperse funds to those families; getting them to where they need to be or helping relieve some financial burdens. Please, help me reach my goal for them and myself. Like before, I'll be training and competing in a few races. As of now, I have the GA Jewel 35miler on 21 September in Dalton, GA. Then, the Spartan Ultra on 16 November in Newberry, SC. Here are the MRFs Social Media platforms, and a link to my fundraising page: https://lnkd.in/ebzkFzaU.

Raising funds so we can learn how to prevent, diagnose & cure CTE. Help #EndCTE by starting or joining a team at the link below. https://lnkd.in/egrAA77a

[Update] Its been awhile - hope you all are doing well. Here is what I've been up to since the update. 1: Looking for Business Grant(s) - not loans - to upgrade hardware, and home business area. 2: Project 01 with Error 4444 is 1990s Run And Kill and will be released soon. 3: Project 03 with Error 4444 is 1990s Red To Kill and will be completed within 2 weeks. This is the first film where I have done artifact/damage cleanup plus color restoration. Before and After samples will be shared once we get permission to do so. Private Non Commercial Projects: 1: 16mm ABC tv's Beatles at Shea Stadium including commercial breaks. (Black and White copy print) - it is rumored that a few songs were replaced with studio tracks due to technical difficulties. If this is found true, we hope to restore the original live line feed to marry the performance with the audio (which we have already in house). 2: 16mm Italian Produced 1978s animated Pinocchio (Full color) - researching copyrights in the US for this one and if the cleanup goes well may pursue marketing this restoration. Being Veterans Day weekend, if you are in the New England area please consider donating to the Home Base project. Link here:
