I'm excited to announce that all of the RollingForAutism Skaters and Senior Team Members finished college this week. I turned my last paper in with a full twenty-two minutes to spare.... Congratulations to all!
While our first day of skating is only thirteen days away, its really unfair to say it will be our first day of skating. For the last three months, we have been training rigorously...20-30 mile skates and spending a lot of time in the gym. Lots of credit to our training staff for putting together a program to prepare us for this journey.....and more importantly, for doing everything possible to manage our blisters. We're excited to put all of this training to the test in two weeks.
We plan to update this blog everyday throughout the trip, as we work with different organizations on top of our daily skate. Different skaters will be posting daily, so you can learn about our experiences through numerous perspectives. I also have a feeling this blog will get fairly humerous at times.
The anticipation is certainly building, as we are receiving many emails and phone calls each day of offers for help. Keep them coming, we look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.
Cheers,
Dan T.
