Hugo said I need to be moving to a new location, but before I do, I wanted to answer a few questions I have been asked. Q.) HOW LONG WILL YOU TRAVEL?? A.) I will travel for PARKER until he gets the port in his chest removed (its through the port his chemo was administered). This should be early MARCH! Q.) WHERE IS YOUR PARKER SHIRT? A.) Short answer: Its in my backpack!! Long answer: Since I started traveling for Parker in 2012, I have always worn my PARKER shirt. Across every state in the US and now 10 countries on my World Tour, I have worn my Parker Shirt, except for two times- each when I have had a chance to RUN. You see, I love running as much as traveling. Just before I left for my World Tour in February, I heard about a mother of three young children in Ashland, VA who was tragically killed by a drunk driver while on a Monday morning run with her husband Scott. There was an amazing movement that grew so that Meg Cross Menzies legacy would live on. Runners started placing their running shoes on a road sign near the location of the accident. Megs Memorial as it would become known, was the last place in the US I visited before traveling to Sochi, Russia. 100k people from across the world did a virtual run for her and in a Facebook page, Megs Miles Supporters, over 17k strangers have become friends and created a community of comfort and inspiration thru running, living and loving. Ultra Marathoner, Harvey Lewis hosted me in Portugal, so I wore Megs shirt for our running adventure. Hugo took me on a race in the Arctic Circle so I had the chance to wear it again. We tell everyone we see about Megs story. I Run Inspired for Megs family, PARKER and others who cannot travel or run. Whether you are a runner or not, I recommend you ask to join Megs page here: https://facebook/groups/megsmiles/ SO tomorrow I am off to somewhere new and will change back into my PARKER shirt - until my next race!!! My support for Parker and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will continue as I travel! We have much work to do!!
