Thank you to my daughter, Kaylee, who biked with me for 15 miles, and to my son, Aaron, for picking us up. 13th run is in the books! Now off to the Grand Canyon with my sons, Chris and Aaron, for the Hike for Hope! Rim to rim hike in one day. 26 mile hike from the south rim to north rim, 5500’ of vertical climb. Please don’t forget 9/11 this Monday. OLMC (Ridgewood)will be holding the annual 9/11 Mass at 7pm.”
This is a great thing to do. I will get in touch to donate. Thank you.
Frank should have run for mayor.
