Hi Folks: I remember a young fellow ( Terry) I think walked across Canada on an artifical leg to raise funds and awareness for Cancer. I wonder if there is a possibility here for us to try something along the same lines. If enough people are interested we could organize support groups along the way where travelers could rest over night. I think it would accomodiate more people with we biked rather than walk. Each stop at a sg would present the opportunity for local publicity. I am sure the list members could think yo ways to get donations and publicity for the event. We could organize a team from the West vs. a team from the Eastm as a race across the country. Or we could go in one direction and each support group would pass a baton to the next suppo4rt group as the ride progresses acrosses the country. Any one of the National organizations orcollectively they could support the ride. Any body have some thoughts On this concept. Dale Severance I can see it now starting on the tip of Long Island: Bruce Hollenbeck starts the baton and passes it to Lupe McCann ..Lupe passes to Margot Zobel... margot passes to Robin Elliot at PDF Robin passes to Bernice in Yonkers as we start north...Bernice Roberst passes to Tony Fazio in White Plains Tony pass to Pokipsque(spelling) they pass to Walter or Pat or Marg in Net Hartord.. New hartford passes to able bodied and exercise freak Skip Vandoorn in Syracuse..Skip labors to Rochester and turns tourch over to John NcCabe or John and Donna Testa who cary it to the Ohio state line etc. OH well just musings on a Saturday morning. Dale Severance and his foolish Bridge accross the United States We definitely should send some chutes by Jim Cordys home to wave hello as Jimsips his mint julips and dreams of National PD Unity. And a definite shoot north thru Canada to pay a visitt to Janet Patterson and all our Canadan Friends on the net. Hay here is another idea: Let NPF,ADPA, PAN , PDF and any other organization each sponsor a team and make it a contest to see who crosses continent first and raises the most mony.
