Sad News

As you know this is my second year participating in Hike for Discovery. A week from today I will be in Yosemite reaping the benefits from all my hard training the last five months.

But it will be bitter sweet to say the least. It's with a heavy heart that I go, Jan Fallat, my honored hero from last year passed away on June 3. She was 57 years old and lived a pretty full life. She had a wonderful husband Dr. Larry Fallat and two daughters (I only knew Katie). She will be missed here but will be with all who she has touched and waiting for them in heaven.

So, next Saturday as I hike in one of America's most beautiful places, I will be thinking very much of Jan and knowing she is in a beautiful place as well and at peace.
