Friday Night from the Hotel...

It's 10:22 on a Friday Night and we are all in bed. Eighty miles of skating over the past two days certainly pays its toll on the body...not to mention the 94 degree heat, the humidity, and the golf ball sized mosquitos. Carson's knees hurt, Streich's shins hurt, my right calf hurts, and Orto's knees, hamstrings, heels, feet, back, glutes, and head hurt.

The emails and donations have really started to pick up over the past few days. Keep them coming. All of your letters, notes, emails, well wishes, and donations really pick up our spirits when the sun gets too hot or the hills get to steep.

We are visiting a therapeutic horseback riding ranch outside of Charleston tomorrow, so we should have some interesting stories to follow. Hopefully, we will be more successful riding the horses than Striech was riding the surfboard today.

A big thank you to the Heinlen family for dinner tonight and their hospitality.

Till next time,
Dan T.

Hello, from the Capital Region! We are so proud of all of you for this venture. The only thing missing is being able to have you all over for dinner again. :-) Unfortunately, we have hockey tournaments on your dates in NYC and Boston but we look forward to seeing you on your return home. When the going gets tough remember that sometimes we make a difference one person at a time - and you are all truly making a difference. Bravo!
Judie, Ken and Jared
