People to Thank

We made it!! I just got back from the game and I am totally exhausted. I am sorry but right now I just want to thank the people who hosted us along the way. These people opened up their homes to us. They gave us a place to sleep, drove us to and from our route, iced and gave us meds for our aches and pains, food and most importantly moral support. Taking in two sweaty and very smelly guys and making them feel at home.



So while Alex and I walked these people made it doable:



Night 1: Katie and Kevin. Katie told us that we were going to make it. After all the rain and the pains of walking finishing this thing seemed so far away. Thanks you guys



Night 2: Corey Brown. Corey you saved us when we were stranded and I love you so much for it. Thanks for helping Bea and I.



Night 3: Clarke. When I was on crew this guy was a Yankee fan who knew his stuff and was always their to talk about the Yanks. Thanks Clarke for housing us and driving us.



Night 4: Brian Former Housemate and current Marist employee. Brian your bed was amazingly comfortable thanks. You slept on the coach while Alex and I spoon..I mean slept.



Night 5: Tittie Nixon. Tittie the foot massage machine was amazing. Thanks for our first homecooked meal and entertaining us with your obese cat.



Night 7 and 8: Timy. Timy you drove us to and from our stops and housed us for two nights. Your mom was so supportive of the walk it was a big boost for me. Thank your sister for the cookie they were great.



Night 9 and 10. Debbie and Tom Napier. Aunt Deb and Uncle Tom thanks for so much. Deb contacted the local paper which put us on their cover this past monday. Debbie also contacted her friends and we interviewd them for our tape. Thanks so much.



Night 11 and 12: P. Ford and Mrs. Ford. Pat you suggested the marathon route which made the last two days of the walk amazing. Mrs.Ford you treated Alex and I so well we had a hard time leaving.



Night 13: Paul and Mego Bea. Paul thanks for picking us up on that day and cooking an amazing dinner. I wish you and Meg all the best. You made me feel so welcome and it was a perfect place to start our last day from.



These people made this all possible. It is good to know that I have all these nice caring individuals in my life.
