This was a completely amazing trip! It's wonderful that Glenn was able to do something so positive in spite of the emotional toll of this disease on the entire family. I'm still bummed that I wasn't here to meet Glenn on his way through Michigan.

Anne.

Glenn reached his final destination a couple hours ago surrounded by his running buddies and family.

Thank you to all who followed along and cheered Glenn on and to those who reached out in support of Glenn.

In a recent interview, Glenn said that our Dad was a tough act to follow....but I'd say that Glenn is not following at all but rather right along side of Dad. He is truly a wonderful, caring man and I AM so proud of him!!!

Thanks for doing this Glenn! Love you!

Laura

Laura

Great Job!

Did he keep records - like how many pairs of shoes, how many days off, if any other than PA, things like that about the trip? Is he going to do a recap or something like that?

I just read a this article about Laura's brother's run now nine years ago. This group really rolled out the red carpet for him in a lot of places along the way. The family greatly appreciates everyone who stepped up to help Glenn.

We have an incredible group of folks here, just sayin...

BTW, the "guy who loaned him a car and a suit" for his father in law's memorial service, was none other than Rick Papp.

We are still greatful nine years later!

I think today is 9 years to the day of his start. So many people from here went out to help him! Some rode along side of him for a few miles, some picked him up, fed and housed him for the night returning him to the pick up point the next day. As SJ said, Rick and Margie took especially good care of him in a difficult time. It seems so long ago to me now...but I remember following along frequently throughout the day as he had a SPOT tracker on him. I watched as he reached the peak of Teton Pass on the webcam there....anything to know he was ok.

Our family is forever in your debt! Thanks all!

Rick and Margie are class acts, although I like Margie a little more
