multiple sclerosis skate-a-thon

On June 30th , 2007 --Jimmy will be skateboarding through the summer heat, 45 miles non-stop, for a Benefit to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. Every cent counts in this fight to find a cure for this disease. If you would like to pledge money for this cause, you can email him at: skatepulaski@yahoo.com with your name, pledge amount and email address. He will then contact you after the event for collection of the donations to turn in to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. A cameraman will be following him to document this event, so all of the people who have donated money can see that the journey was completed. We would like to thank everyone for all the support and donations.
We can change the world, one push at a time. happy landings----JP

HELLO, EVERYONE.
WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE JOURNEY HAS BEEN COMPLETED. WE HAD A LATE START AT ABOUT 1:30PM AND FINALLY LANDED AT 8:30PM. IT TOOK 7 HOURS AND THE RAIN HELD OFF ALL DAY WHICH WAS GREAT. A MAJOR WIPE OUT FROM A ROCK ON THE PATH TOOK JIMMY OUT WHILE HE WAS GOING ABOUT 20MPH DOWN A HILL . HE RECOVERED IN 10 MINUTES AND WAS BACK IN ROUTE.
