Almost there!

I can hardly believe that you have gone so far! I haven't posted anything on this blog for a while, and it seems like you have been rocketing along. While I am piddling my days away, you are still moving, and I sense that seeing the finish line so close, you have become infused with a new fire. Before I ramble too long, I want to put in a statement that Buffy wrote to all your followers. I am going to copy/paste it here if I can:

Here's what she had to say, and I cannot think of a better way to say it......
Hi and a big thank you to all the members of Jed's group! Thanks for the generous financial contributions many of you have made but most of all for the ongoing moral support, prayers, advice and good karma! Jed is halfway through Oregon and will likely finish within 2-3 days. Many of you may already be aware but he sustained a significant ankle injury as he neared the Colorado border. We picked him up and brought him to Missouri where we were blessed to have two wonderful physicians donate their time and expertise. Due to the injury the only way he could finsih was by bicycle. He really wrestled with that and made several attempts to push past the injury but in the end realized that doing so could cause permanent problems. Not too good when you make your living climbing mountains! I personally feel that running 2,500 miles and then biking close to another 2,000 in 5 months is nothing to be ashamed of - and that all of you who donated will be blessed in your willingness to help support cures for cancer. Thank you again, all of you and we'll let you know when he crosses the FINISH LINE!
