The Finish!



I just reached the Finish at Lake Michigan! After 205 miles, 3 pairs of skis, 11 days on the trail, 8 counties, 28 rivers and streams (one without a bridge), 32 snickers bars, 46 liters of water and hot cocoa, - 6 to 52 °F temperatures, Margy's fund with the National Transplant Assistance Fund received more than 100 contributions, and NTAF provided $1,500 in additional matching grant money. Together, we raised over $11,000 so far for Margy's bone marrow transplant expenses! And counting! Donations are still being accepted online and by check. Here are picture from the Finish. Margy told me before the finish how touched she is by the journey across Michigan and the outpouring of support and prayers for her. She is both humbled and in awe of the incredible support she has gotten to this point.

On behalf of Margy and her family, thank you so much for supporting this fundraiser, for following my adventure across Michigan for her, and for supporting her life-saving transplant. -Knut
