Today, we are a mere one hundred days before the start of our trip; the expedition that will lead us from New York City to San Francisco on mere contraptions of metal and other knick knacks. I think, however, for most of us, the journey has already begun. As we are ever approaching the date of departure, I am constantly reminded of why I signed up to do this. Cancer is so ensnared in the lives of all of us: even since making the team, a good friend of mine lost his father to cancer. We are on this journey, and this ride, not only to raise money and have a fun summer, but to hopefully be impacted by those we meet and to reciprocate the action. I personally don't plan on coming back from San Francisco the same person who was on the train to New York City, and I couldn't be more excited.
