Happy Holidays
 
And what a joyous occasion it is.  Upon the new year, we'll be formally announcing that the money we raise will fund the first ever nationwide epidemiological study of canine cancer. 
 
This will set the standard for all future studies in veterinary oncology and prove pivotal not only to understanding the causes of cancer but more importantly how to prevent it.  It's a gift to us all and we're grateful for each and everyone's contribution.  Please Donate and be a part of this groundbreaking study.
Our Christmas Carol to You

Hudson XMas A few weeks back, I took the boys out to a Christmas tree farm to cut down ours and, of  course, plant a seed in its place.  It's quite a handsome Virginia Pine, perfectly shaped and fragrant, too.  The boys helped me decorate. 
 
What a lovely time of year and we want to share it with you in yet another way.
The Road from Austin to Boston

Texas  
Travel plans are starting to come together.  Our best estimate for now is a total distance of 2,235 miles and 264 days of walking.  That's more than our original estimates because we decided to travel in a more northern direction to avoid hurricane season in the Gulf States. 
 
We've broken the hike down into 7 Stages which are (1) Austin, (2) Texarkana, (3) Memphis, (4), Akron, (5) Syracuse, (6) New York City, and (7) Boston.  Thanks to all who've emailed and offered the boys and me a place to park it overnight.
