Castle explained to LifeSiteNews that on the West Coast, where LIFE Runners have traditionally started from the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, this year\u2019s grand kickoff will begin with prayer at the Planned Parenthood in San Francisco and then walk a mile to Union Square, which Castle called the city\u2019s equivalent to Times Square: a bustling, secular square packed with people \u2013 an ideal place to share the pro-life message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Similarly, in New York, instead of beginning from the Brooklyn Bridge, LIFE Runners will kick off with prayer at Manhattan\u2019s Planned Parenthood and walk with their \u201cREMEMBER the Unborn\u201d banner to the Father Duffy statue in Times Square, where they will&nbsp;\u201cpierce the culture of death\u201d with their pro-life message, in Castle\u2019s words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In the southern U.S., the \u201cREMEMBER the Unborn\u201d banner will border the University of Texas in Austin, witnessing to a demographic in which abortions are heavily concentrated: college-age students. Castle shared that 40% of abortions are committed by college-age women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The north kickoff arm will begin this year&nbsp;in front of the Cathedral of St. Mary in Fargo, North Dakota, from which LIFE Runners will walk to a Minnesota Planned Parenthood 4.3 miles away, where they will close in prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Castle stressed in a Thursday interview with LifeSiteNews that without prayer their pro-life efforts are \u201cmeaningless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cWithout it, we\u2019re not going to complete the largest spanning pro-life event in the world\u2026&nbsp;Without it, it\u2019s not going to be sustaining or healing,\u201d said Castle, who previously told LifeSiteNews that prayer&nbsp;\u201cis often enough for a mom to not turn in to that abortion facility.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As during every meeting, the relay participants will pray the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liferunners.org\/creed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LIFE Runners Creed<\/a>&nbsp;to end abortion and heal the wounds caused by abortion, the killing of the innocent; the creed sets their intention to \u201crun as a prayer,\u201d and invokes the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Padre Pio, and St. Michael the Archangel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Readers are invited to add their relay prayer requests on the LIFE Runners Prayer Wall at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fliferunners.org%2Fprayer-wall&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cemangiaracina%40lifesitenews.com%7Cc17bfd4708b044d8f0b008dcb3232446%7Cb1de1e02454440878df20244507fd8e6%7C1%7C0%7C638582210733939117%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=v49j1zVOUr35a9u%2BUVr9cvNVO6UsaWplKtAgyO28wS0%3D&amp;reserved=0\">liferunners<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fliferunners.org%2Fprayer-wall&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cemangiaracina%40lifesitenews.com%7Cc17bfd4708b044d8f0b008dcb3232446%7Cb1de1e02454440878df20244507fd8e6%7C1%7C0%7C638582210733939117%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=v49j1zVOUr35a9u%2BUVr9cvNVO6UsaWplKtAgyO28wS0%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">.<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fliferunners.org%2Fprayer-wall&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cemangiaracina%40lifesitenews.com%7Cc17bfd4708b044d8f0b008dcb3232446%7Cb1de1e02454440878df20244507fd8e6%7C1%7C0%7C638582210733939117%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=v49j1zVOUr35a9u%2BUVr9cvNVO6UsaWplKtAgyO28wS0%3D&amp;reserved=0\">org\/prayer-wall<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The last leg of the A-Cross America Relay will be completed by Benedictine College students this year into Roe Park, where Archbishop Joseph Naumann of the Diocese of Kansas City, Kansas, will lead a prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It isn\u2019t necessary to live near the A-Cross America Relay course in order to participate, since anyone anywhere in the world can complete a 5K leg by walking or running in their own neighborhood while wearing LifeRunners \u201cRemember the Unborn\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stores.inksoft.com\/liferunners\/shop\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gear<\/a>.

At the time, Grabosky was completing an extraordinary and rare feat of running solo from coast to coast across the United States, praying as he ran. Only the 43rd person to complete an ocean-to-ocean run, Grabosky came to write about his four-month journey in the book&nbsp;<em>Running with God Across America,<\/em>&nbsp;in which he explains how he prayed a decade of the rosary for each of the roughly 3,500 intentions he received at the time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Castle had already founded LIFE Runners when one of his lieutenants told him about Grabosky. The two got in touch, and Castle found that Grabosky had conveniently been forced to pause his run as he waited to receive a replacement wheel for a stroller that he pushed as he ran, in which he carried his tent, sleeping bag, and other belongings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The two met for Mass and breakfast, and Castle offered to give Grabosky his LIFE Runners jersey if he would send him a photo of himself wearing it on one of the remaining days of the trip. According to Castle, Grabosky sent him a picture of himself by a sign that read \u201cCastle Creek.\u201d When Castle pointed out what he was sure was an intentional homage to his name, Grabosky said he never noticed the sign. \u201cCoincidence? I think not,\u201d Castle said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The two stayed in touch, and Castle eventually came to Grabosky with an idea: \u201cI said, \u2018Jeff, what if we did this trip across America again, and could you map it, and we\u2019ll get the hundred LIFE runners and we\u2019ll just all do it together. And he said, \u2018Absolutely,\u201d Castle related.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">For about a year and a half, they planned a coast-to-coast route, launching the inaugural A-Cross America relay on Palm Sunday 2013.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Castle explained that when they planned this first path, \u201cwhenever possible, Jeff and I would search for abortion facilities and route it by the abortion facilities, to put prayer pressure, to put holy pressure on those places.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The relay \u201cdrew a lot of attention\u201d to LIFE Runners, as Castle pointed out. \u201cWe kind of exploded.\u201d LIFE Runner membership expanded from 170 at the end of 2011 to 1,791 members by the end of 2013 after the first A-cross America Relay had been completed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In 2015, they decided to add a north-south route across the country to make a cross, and in 2016, they allowed people to \u201cadopt\u201d 5K segments while running \u201canywhere in the world during the relay time period.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This change has also allowed the \u201cRemember the Unborn\u201d witness to expand in creative ways. For example, In Boise, Idaho, LIFE Runners have adopted a segment by running from a local abortion facility to their pregnancy help center. On the island of Fiji, hundreds of LIFE Runners participate in an all-night walk\/run to altogether adopt the state of Utah.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cIt\u2019s spurring this public witness, this pro-life activism, this unity, this synergy. That\u2019s the awesomeness of this A-Cross America Relay for pro-life,\u201d Castle previously told LifeSiteNews.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Join the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DN5cEb-0mdMc%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cemangiaracina%40lifesitenews.com%7C10bc138882034a8bd1ec08dcb65e8ed2%7Cb1de1e02454440878df20244507fd8e6%7C1%7C0%7C638585764550827649%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=uVioU99%2FSD9iBdERcJPh80z%2Fypd3iPGoDO%2FSHI5qwAg%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">largest spanning Pro-Life event<\/a>&nbsp;with 1,476 legs covering 5,183 miles (12 million steps)!&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Wear a \u201cREMEMBER The Unborn\u201d shirt while you walk or run 5K legs&nbsp;on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liferunners.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/press-release-A-Cross-America-Relay.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Relay<\/a>&nbsp;course or from anywhere in the world, anytime from Sep 6th to Oct 19th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong><em>Emily Mangiaracina is a Miami-based journalist for LifeSiteNews, and is most passionate about the Traditional Latin Mass and promoting the teachings of the Catholic Church.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LIFE Runners will \u2018pierce the culture of death\u2019 with the witness of their message \u2018REMEMBER the Unborn\u2019 while running and walking all around the world.
