Fenway For Our Fathers

Denise Payette-Holmes, Peter Wildes, Link Erskine, and Joe McHugh left South Portland at Noon this past Tuesday and landed at Fenway Sunday afternoon before the Sox-Phillies game. They braved 95-degree temperatures, tropical storm Elsa, numerous blisters, sore muscles, and Massachusetts drivers to complete their epic journey. And did it all for a great cause-The Jimmy Fund.

We have an update from the crew walking from Maine to Fenway Park. They are through Maine and New Hampshire and are in Massachusetts. Way ahead of schedule, and there's a good reason why. And the reason is Elsa. The Fantastic Four wanted to get ahead of their schedule as they know the remnants of tropical storm Elsa will be moving through New England. NOT great weather for a 110-mile stroll. These four brave Mainers are replicating a walk THEIR FATHERS did 48 years ago. All for a great cause-The Jimmy Fund.

UPDATE; The crew got to Arundel, Maine yesterday. About 10 miles ahead of where they thought they would land. A nice first day! Today, they hope to get to Wells. The fundraising is going really well too. The initial goal of $20,000 has been blown away. As has the updated goal of $30,000. So now, the Fantastic Four are shooting for 40k for the Jimmy Fund.
