I would like to challenge everyone I know to try forego some of our traditional Christmas shopping this year and instead give to some charities that really could use the help.  I am not saying that we should not buy gifts for our Children but as adults maybe we should sacrifice a little so that we can help others.  Here are a couple of suggstions of organizations that I think could use the help:

Food for the Poor Milwaukee Rescue Mission Compassion International Worldvision

I am writing this post from my iPhone using some software just for managing wordpress blogs from iPhone's. So far it is pretty cool. I also updated the blog with a new mac inspired theme that I really like. With this new software maybe I will post more.

Day 2

It's the end of Day 2 and this was a realy great day today. I walked with a co-worker from CA and we really moved today. We finished our 20 miles in about 7.5 hours. The walk was fun and there were lots of supporters out today.

At dinner tonight they did some recognitions and one in particular stood out. This recognition showed how committed people are to the 3 Day. There is a member of the crew that is on the road and everyone sees her multiple times each day as she rides the route watching for people in need of help. She was diagnosed with Breast Cancer two months ago and had a double mastectomy two weeks ago and was still here looking out for us this weekend.

Lunch

The walk before lunch was a nice 11 mile walk through the north shore. The last couple miles before lunch were along Sheridan Rd and the houses were quite expensive. After lunch we have 10 miles to camp.
