After a lot of soul searching and discussion with Catherine, I decided in December of last year to give solo RAAM 2009 a shot. I also want to make this 'ego' trip bigger than just me. I will be raising funds for the Boyer Children's Clinic. Boyer has a special place in my family's heart. Our three year old son Luc was dealing with developmental delays and went to Boyer for speech and physical therapy. http://www.boyercc.com/.
I will use this blog for updates on my training, the logistical preparation and our fund raising efforts.
