A new Adventure

In case you were thinking the adventures were over for Jed, apparently you don't know him. The adventures will never be over...At his current (and former) job working with troubled teens in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, he has become friends with many wonderful people. There's a good friend there named Teresa, or "Tree" as she is known to her hiking buddies who is currently fighting against the same disease that Jed has made his cause for some time now. At the end of the month, March 29, 2012, while Teresa is undergoing chemotherapy, he will embark again on a trip to raise money for the V Foundation for Cancer research. This trip with less disposable time, he will bike from New York to the Florida Keys in just a short twenty something days. He will have to ride hard, but hard is nothing new to Jed. He told me in a post that he has been given a strong body, and he thought he could do this....should do this, for those who have not been so blessed with health as he. Again, I will be on my knees each night on his behalf as a mother would be. I was inspired by his remembering the words "Unto whom much has been given, much is required." I have been blessed with him as a son. I have been blessed beyond my ability to imagine. God Speed my son, and God Bless. As Jed said at the end of a post he put up......"This one's for you Teresa."
