day nine

Well I haven't done a very good job at updating this journal...let alone updating anything at all.  But today was a wonderful day of rest in beautiful Murraysville, PA.  An extra hour of sleep this morning made a big difference for me after a few days of climbing Appalachian Mountains (only 25 miles today!).  We were so fortunate to be welcomed at the Calvary Lutheran Church with a delicious food and great company.

I had the opportunity today to participate in a Portraits Project, which is a really important portion of this journey that I haven't really focused aside from visiting the Walter Reed Hospital.  A few of the riders and I sat down with Dorothy and her father-in-law as they shared their experiences with cancer.

I would like to share a lot more of my travels thus far-but I'll update next time I find a computer!
