Ready for my close up!

Well, we are down to a week left before Scarecrow departs... over the next few days we want to recognize just a few of the many generous people who have been so supportive to Teddy as his dream unfolds into reality.  With the Continental Divide being the most rigorous of the three trails, Scarecrow wanted to upgrade a lot of his equipment to meet the heightened challenges he may face.  He also wanted to make sure he had the best camera to capture the amazing terrain he will be exploring while away.  He decided after much research that the Olympus Stylus TG-2 Tough was what he would take with him.  He picked this camera up with some help from a generous donation from our dear friends, Derrick and Pattie Grieco.

I have known Pattie and Derrick for 35+ years.  We grew up together and consider each other family. So, when Teddy and I began our life together, they welcomed him as their family as well.  We have experienced so many wonderful things together in our lives and we value your friendship and support so deeply.  From the very first trip on the Appalachian Trail to present day, the two of you have shown your love and support and have remained a huge part of this experience.  You both emulate a love of life, adventure and support of family that we are blessed to be a part of.

Scarecrow is walking through some of the most beautiful parts of the country and will be able to capture this with the camera that you helped him purchase.  He will indeed think of you both each and every time he takes a picture while on his journey.  Thank you both again for your generosity, love and support - it truly does mean the world to us both! We love you guys! xoxo

Until next time,
