Awesome Friends

I have awesome friends. When I start stressing about the planning process, a friend will come out from nowhere and provide me with information I'm missing, a contact who can help me, or just have a night out to enjoy pizza and a pizookie (thanks BJ Pizza for going gluten free!).

And the term "friend" is expanding quickly. I used to define "a friend" as someone I've known for at least several months. I'm finding that in the hiking community, a friend is someone with whom you share a love of adventure, of hiking. Be it in a 15 minute conversation or an email exchange, hiking friends are made almost instantly.

So I wanted to say Thanks to all my awesome friends AND family for helping keeping me on track and calm.

National Diabetes Month

November is National Diabetes Month.

My goal in 2012 is to both hike the PCT and to raise funds and awareness for Type 1 diabetes.

Please take a few moments to swing by my Donations page and help the JDRF continue their research to find a cure.

Happy Hiking!
