Greetings NEGII crewHere's Charles just before taking off for 63 grueling miles for our Kancamagus Child Voice Ride on Sept 12.
We rose 2400 ft in 10 miles and then decended 2800 ft in 22 miles. On the return, the last 4 miles we climbed constantly and arrived at the top of the notch to rain and 50 degrees. Therefore the trip down was very tough for the last 10 miles.
As I road I kept thinking, for children like Charles, they had to carry equipment and guns for this far on foot in the rain and suffer for an evil cause. We were allowed to suffer to help others. In all Child Voice raised $8000 through our 11 riders. Wow!
Nancy and I leave on Oct 9 for 6 weeks.
I hope to use this blog to update you all to our travels with Come Lets Dance, FOCUS and Child Voice. So tune in once a week to see photos of these places and friends.
Tom
