Hi All - Happy Sunday.
Still not able to get some pictures up but wanted to share this invitation to anyone who might be along the NY/NJ route - or able to get to it...
It is my sincere hope that you will consider coming to our final rally of the 2008 North American Continent Sea to Sea Tour to welcome the 200 + riders who have ridden either all or part of the way.
This effort has raised over 2.1 million dollars to alleviate the causes of poverty. Just as importantly, it has raised awareness of the issues which contribute to the cycle of poverty and perhaps, in the raising of that awareness, people & agencies and institutions will understand that if we work together we can alleviate if not completely eliminate much of the suffering that occurs in our world. This is not an idle hope or an unrealistic effort. We have the means, the knowledge and the resources to end this blight on humanity. It is now up to us to chose to do so. The fact that in the time it takes to pedal 4 strokes, a person dies due to poverty related isssues is
unconsionable. The fact that so many people are working to end this tragedy is something to celebrate.
If you cannot make it - please be sure to send the cyclists a note on their blogs or create a sign
which can be left by the roadway as we pass through NY & NJ and it will encourage many hearts.Please pass this on to anyone you know who may be along our route - you can find that at
www.seatosea.org.
Thank you for all your encouragement and support and I look forward to seeing you soon or keeping in touch when Dave & I return home from a week at Ocean Grove.)
Hugs - Joanna

Hey HF -
Meant to publicly acknowledge all your support and caring. Thanks for the encouraging notes and thanks for being there at the finish. I think it's so cool that Jess & her family saw me off in Seattle and you were there in Jersey City.
Hope to get the pics updated sometime soon - take care - HUGS
