Tom's trip from Sault Saint Marie, MI to Toke, Ak

This is the first email from one of the snowmobilers:

As some of you already know, in February I will be joining about 75 other snowmobilers in a snowmobile ride from Sault St. Marie, MI to Tok, Alaska, a distance of 4000 miles that we hope to cover in 20 days, The 75 will be divided into three groups and my team of 4 (plus our truck/trailer driver, Brother Tom Myerchin) will be in the second group leaving the Soo on Feb. 17.



This is a charitable run to raise money for diabetes research. If you would like to support our effort and contribute to this research, go to “www.michcanska.com/about/”. Click on the link to the right that says “2010 donation”. Fill out the resulting form and, if you like, put my name in the box at the end. If you have already donated, as many of you have, thank you.



If you would like to follow me on this ride, you can go to: http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0Q0Ifl4SfsmGVNtj2xYjxF5UVyJZoXrl4 to track me (retains the last 7 days). As tests, this currently has my recent car trip to Cadillac and a recent snowmobile run to Hart, MI



You can also go to the “www.michcanska.com/about/” site and click on the “Group 2” link on the right. This will have pictures taken along the way and other items concerning our group that will hopefully be updated each evening and there is a tracking link on that page that will be a real time track of our journey.



Please pray that all of us will return safe and sound.
