Sunday May 21, 2006 THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY SPONSORED ME AND TO THOSE THAT ARE STILL PENDING.
My Goal is $500 and I am pretty sure that I will reach that by June 16th which is the FINAL cutoff for donations to sponsor me. So if you have not done so already, please visit my donations page NOW:)!
What a beautiful day for a 6.2 mile walk through Central Park, in spite of the weather forecasts that were calling for thunderstorms, the temperature was in the 60's sunny and breezy. However, the t-storms did come later in the afternoon though. Charlie and I arrived around 8:30am, (8:50am JST, Joe Standard Time), turned in our donations and proceeded to the main stage. Richard Thomas had just been introduced and he spoke for a few minutes and was shortly joined by Avenue Q's Barret Foa and Rod Roddy. Although the three of them only interacted for several minutes it was pretty funny and it concluded with Rod kissing John Boy.
After sticking around the stage for some other performers and corporate sponsors we moved onto the Awards tent and then most importantly, the snack area. I was impressed by variety of free food that AWNY provided. Fresh fruit, endless bottles of water, Paul Newman's Lemonade and Iced Tea, Coconut Water (gross), Cereal bars and cookies.
Officially, the walk started at 10am and we started walking around that time. The route took us through Central Park and out to 11oth Street. It continued west on 11oth to Riverside Drive south to W74th and east back to Central Park.
