I finished the 100 miles today. Fate just had my path go past a bloodmobile, so I gave blood at about the 99-mile mark. This was my first walk that didn’t include chainsaws since Aug. 10, when the derecho storm hit our area. In the picture you can see some of the remaining debris.

I also finished the 100 by motorcycle as an American Legion Rider, along with three others, on Aug. 14 as we went to the birthday celebration of a 104-year-old ex-POW.

So, I finished the 100 Miles For Hope twice. Not quite like Department of Missouri Adjutant Lowry Finley-Jackson, who really is a hero of mine.

All my Iowa friends should consider taking on the challenge, which ends on Veterans Day. Go walk now before the excuse of cold keeps you from completing the challenge.
