Kick Off to the Big Hike at Big Bend

Hi!

Glad you made it to my Hike for Discovery blog!

If you've just come from my LLS donation page, thanks for coming to check in on my training progress and my hike to either Big Bend or Grand Canyon this coming May.

If you're surfing, thanks for stopping by too!!

Bookmark me and follow the progress of a middle aged amateur hiker about to bite off more than he can chew. And if it strikes your fancy (or whatever!!), consider supporting me and my Hike for Discovery by clicking here and donating whatever you can.

I know that times are tough for everyone but I was reminded today at the Dallas Area Kickoff Event that blood cancers don't recognize what tough economic times are. So even a little will go a long way in helping to support those in need.

From time to time I'll be posting pictures, information about my fundraising progress, Leukemia facts and figures and hopefully you'll learn a little about my father and his struggle with Chronic Myologenous Leukemia (CML) which he lost on February 19, 1993.

It's in his memory that I'm hiking as well as for those currently battling against this disease.

So please support me in reaching my goal of raising $5,000 for the 2009 Big Bend Hike.

See you on the trail...
