I tried to apply but they were pretty adamant about not paying for my flight and accommodations. I guess it's best as the most running I do is to my car when it's raining.:happy: Actually I do run 2 miles 4-5 times a week.:cool:

Quite a story there, squiffy. You did a great job and service. Very good indeed.
I did something in the 80's not long after I got custody of my children and moved here. My young son (deceased 6-95) just coming off cancer brain surgery, a Cancer event came up where people donated an amount of money per mile that you could go. This event was run, walk, skate, ride, whatever, just make money.
I borrowed an old bicycle, hooked up a little red wagon, and off we went.
Luckily land is good and flat around here. With me peddling and son (6) in the wagon, we managed to pull off 20 miles. Had a great time and fun.
My son was cancer free for 11 years when it came back and two years later he floated to a better place where pain, tears, frustration, etc, do not exist.
I donate to St. Judes for cancer research.
We all do what we can for whatever reasons.:happy:

Hi Nick,

A great story too, very sorry to hear of your son's passing, it is never easy to lose loved ones, especially our children.

kind regards

In the natural scheme of things, parents are not to outlive their children.
I've lost 2 children. God's will?:confused:
My other two children have 2 children each, all fine and well.
God's Miracle?:confused:
That's why I live the great state of confusion. God has win-win situations.:sad:
Have a good one.:cool:
