The Run

Sean Harbinger — Pioneertown, CA

Twenty-five thousand miles. That's roughly the circumference of the earth. I've done it on an elliptical in the high desert of California, one session at a time, tracking every step with an Apple Watch. Not for a medal, not for a marathon photo — for something bigger.

I believe the data you generate just by existing — your steps, your clicks, your location, your attention — is the smallest thing a person makes. And whoever can put your smallest creation to work while you can't has made you secondary in every deal that follows. That isn't a pricing dispute. It's a rank, and closing it is what Digital Dignity exists to do.

25,000+
Miles logged on the elliptical. Every one tracked, every one counted toward something real.

RFDD — Run for Digital Dignity — is how I turn that physical commitment into funding. When you sponsor me, you're not donating to a faceless organization. You're backing a person who shows up every day, whose fitness data is public and verifiable, and who uses every dollar to build the tools and infrastructure the Digital Dignity campaign runs on.

Your sponsorship can be per-mile, per-step, a flat monthly amount, or a one-time gift. On the per-mile and per-step pledges you can set an optional monthly cap, so you're always in control. And you can follow my progress on the tracker — updated daily from my Apple Watch.

100%
Transparent. Real activity data from Apple Watch, publicly tracked, no fudging the numbers.

I'm based in Pioneertown, California — a tiny desert community near Joshua Tree. I've spent 20+ years in Hollywood production and editorial, and the last several years building the technology and strategy for Digital Dignity. This isn't a side project. It's the work.

If you want to understand the bigger picture — why data ownership matters, what the campaign looks like at scale — visit digitaldignity.org. But you don't need to buy into the philosophy to sponsor me. The pitch is simpler than that: I run, you fund, the work gets done.
