I am including this in the blog as a separate entry. When we arrived in Yellowstone, we passed young men who were biking into the park. There seemed to be a whole lot of them. They were outfitted in really good biking attire and riding really nice bikes.
Yesterday, when we were in the park, we stopped to look at some animals (or scenery) at the same time a group of the young men were stopped. So, of course, I had to ask them if they were training for the Olympics or something!!! They laughed good heartedly and told me that they were part of a fund raising effort called Push America (web site is pushamerica.org). They are members of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity across the US and their mission is: Push America programs were created to educate and provide a quality hands-on service experience for members of Pi Kappa Phi while enhancing the lives of people with disabilities.
Of course, after seeing these young men riding their bikes through the mountains of Yellowstone National Park (there is a picture of them at the continental divide taking a break), I encourage everyone who reads the blog to go to their web site and make a decision regarding a contribution.
