Day 3 and Counting

Another Message from Koreen, direct from the trail at the Washington Monument, Maryland.

With 12 miles from yesterday already under their belt, David and Koreen planned on a solid 9 miles today, only to push past a campground they didn’t want to settle in and ended up rounding out their 3rd day with a total 14 miles!

Little did they know the last 5 miles would be as grueling as this! Don’t forget to track their progress on SPOT (link is always in the MENU above).

The first step

In every journey there is a beginning.

A journey to be filled with adventures, shaken by mistakes, sprinkled with laughter, and salted with tears.

But one best of all overflowing with memories.

At this point, as they trek forth into the beginning of their adventure, I’m pretty sure David is already longing for the end (or a beer break, or an Uber), while Koreen is dreaming about all the moments in the middle. The sun and the rain, the life and the beauty, the smooth trails and rocky peaks, and the friends along the way.

Their path is an ongoing journey that they began over 10 years ago, and one they continue to master their way through. Together.

There has been soo much to consider, to worry over, and to plan. And they’ve reached the point where “we’ve done what we can” to prepare, and it will all work itself out from here.

So let’s wish these two the best of luck as today they take the first steps of their next adventure in the “flip flop thru-hike” of the Appalachian Trail.

We look forward to watching their progress and rejoicing with them in each of their milestones.

We love you, we walk with you in spirit, and support you in mind and hearts throughout your efforts to help find the cure to MS.

Count Down

With only 7 days to go until they hit the hiking trails, Koreen and David have already put in many miles in support of MS on what will be their last bike ride for the calculable future. Approximately 5-6 months of the calculable future! Follow the blog below, or check back often to monitor their progress.

Starting and Ending their 2019 Bike MS in Arizona, these two knocked out another awesome ride where the sunsets made all the hard work worth it.


Well, the sunsets and the doughnuts.
It was a great ride shared with amazing friends and a festive sombrero sporting bag of bones (and no Dave was not the one wearing the sombrero).

I think I can speak for most of us when I say that we are all excited, inspired, and ever motivated by this power couple! But on the same note, I think that we can also agree that we are 100% nervous. Am I right? Let’s start sending them prayers for a smooth start and an awesome send off coming up this April 25th!

A big thanks to the friends and family who donated to their most recent venture, and keep it coming with all that love and encouragement!
