Story

A very big thank you all for sponsoring me!!!

Truly great experience, and raised just shy of 2,000 for cancer
research!

Highlights have to be the stereotypical gruff brooklyn cop who
shouted out "welcome to Brooklyn... now get outta here",
all the kids lining the streets giving you 5 with their outstretched hands, being passed by scooby-doo, being passed by an 80 year old man (I could go on...), the crowds on first avenue blocking my way to Finegans Wake when I had had enough, the turn into central park and the pungent smell of horse manure in south central park (don't ask, was slightly delirious at that stage!)...

So thanks all again!
Peter ps, time was 4:48 (and no Ken you can't have your money back!!!)
