Readers Respond to "Hike the Canyon"

To those readers who have responded with a donation to Parkinson's Association of the Rockies (PAR),  THANK YOU.  At this writing, a few openings remain in each of the three hiking groups described below.

Only three weeks away from the fun part of this year-long effort.  What began last August as a self-imposed challenge to hike 100 miles and snowshoe 20 miles by this May, is about to culminate.  The original plan of donating $ to PAR for each mile hiked, however, has been simplified, because the original milestone of 100 miles was accomplished in mid-October.



 
Mark your calendar for Thursday, May 10th.  A day hike is being offered to those who first donate to PAR (Parkinson's Association of the Rockies).  

The process is simple.  By reading this post, you are on the home page.  Click on "Donate" at top right.  You will get the "i support the canyon" form.  Follow instructions on the form.  

Then call or email the hiker to register.   Hike categories include: Dedicated - 6 mi. O/B - moderate; Fair Weather - 3 mi.O/B - moderate; Diagnosed with a Parkinsonian-type disease i.e.PSP - Progressive Supranuclear Palsy; CBD - Corticobasal Degeneration; MSA - Multiple System Atrophy; Vascular Parkinsonism; Dementia ith Lewy bodies

You can also click on "Hike the Canyon" Fundraiser in the list of postings in blog archives.

We look forward to seeing many of our hiking friends and new outdoor enthusiasts on May 10th.
