2017~02~25 Answered Prayers

Who would have thought that the smiles from the simple ability to participate in a social game of duckpin bowling or the strength to finish a 2 mile hike would be this weeks answered prayers.
Thank you God, Jesus, Our Lady of Fatima, St Jude, Holy Infant of Atocha and Saint Christopher for answering my prayers so quickly and for the quick recovery, health and well being.

Closer to Free Ride
Yale New Haven
September 10~2016
C4C team members raised over $20,000
as we cycled various routes along with about 2,000 other cyclists. 

The routes were awesome, the cyclists were amazing, courageous and inspirational. 

As a team, we C4C ride in memory of those that we have lost, in honor of those that have survived and to empower and give courage and hope for those that battle Cancer daily.  We will keep at this until we see our future Closer to Free of Cancer.

2016-05-28 A Repeat for Nuts!!!!

2016-05-28 A Repeat for Nuts!!!!

4 mile hike with repeats in a valley
140 feet vertical per nut
Huntington State Park Redding CT


70 ft +/- vertical side A
 
 70 ft +/- vertical side B


a little orange friend

 
2 bags and a rock make peace

Flat trail feels like an airport runway after the climbs

empty pockets to find 10 nuts x 140ft. = 1,440 vertical ft. (guess who)

empty pockets to find 7 nuts x 140ft. = 980 vertical ft. (guess who)
