Welcome to Connecticut, Hiker Jim
Jump to Comments
We were thrilled to meet Hiker Jim last night as he made his way through Connecticut. As some of you know from previous posts here, Jim has been hiking the Appalachian Trail and raising money ($2,000 to date) and awareness for the Foundation along the way.
Several staff members were able to get together with Jim, his hiking partners and his hosts for the past few nights in Lakeville, CT. In addition to meeting Jim for the first time, we celebrated his recent birthday with carrot cake (his favorite) and a champagne toast.
While he was here, we also put Jim to work doing interviews with local newspapers, including the Hartford Courant. You can read the articles in our Press Room: http://www.cdlsusa.org/news/press_room.shtml. -MM
