We woke up to a foot of snow on Day 13! It took us two hours to get to our starting point, which was a huge set back to begin our day. It was very cold today, which made for tough running conditions. Luckily, Joe had his mom and brother to help him out with his run. Joe's injuries are starting to heal, but his Achilles' tendon is flaring up a bit.
Today is our teammate, Leslie's birthday! We celebrated her all day with treats and a birthday song at the end of the run. Tonight we went to a wonderful Jamaican restaurant near downtown Buffalo, NY. Leslie has been instrumental on our journey, raising awareness of the growing world hunger problem. She is one special lady, and we all feel incredibly lucky to have gotten to know over the past few weeks.
Happy Birthday Leslie, we all miss you back home but we are also so unbelievably proud of you! We love how you are so passionate about feeding the world. I hope you had an amazing birthday and by your picture it looks like you did! I am so happy for you it looks like you have seen some pretty cool things and met some amazing people. I was happy you got to have Christmas again. I was also amazed at Nurse Leslie and Jose there generosity really shows me that what you are doing is spreading and people are getting fired up to help solve this wold wide problem. You all are Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI love you Leslie,

P.S. I really liked the song choice in today's blog video.
I have been sitting here smiling at my screen like a goofball watching my cute little Henry Fam, braving the elements and running together. (Nice tights Dave!) I am so proud of you all. Sending you so much love and strength from Oakland! xo jess
