New Merrells after 5 Miles of Hiking. Next update after 800 something miles...

Just yesterday Sensei Mike and I went on a quick little 5 mile training hike in the McDowell mountains to stretch out our legs and break in our newly donated Merrells at the same time (we love these boots!).

As we were hiking we also came to the realization that we are approaching 2011 very quickly which means our Arizona trail hike is only a few months away.

Team Armstrong is very excited and we are going to be stepping up our fund-raising for the Foundation for Blind Children. Over the next few months we are looking to raise at least $43,000 for the FBC and we are hoping that everyone will help us make that possible.

If you would like to help the FBC and help support our Arizona Trail hike please visit our donations page at: http://blindmotivation.com/donations/

If you donate TODAY 12-31-10 you will still receive the 2010 Arizona Tax Credit. If you donate tomorrow you will just have to wait for the 2011 Arizona Tax Credit.
