We made it! As you can see by the pictures, everyone made it across the country safely, soundly, and, most of all, overjoyed by this amazing experience. It’s difficult to find the right words to describe the emotions we’re all feeling; not just for these 38 who made the 3000-mile trek, but also for the families and friends who were waiting here in Annapolis at the end.
The photos do say it best, I guess. I think we are all very proud to have been part of something so epic – something bigger than we dared dream. We’ve been changed. We raised awareness, we put over $200,000 towards research for the Children's Tumor Foundation, but even more than that, we’ve all realized that limits are, for the most part, self-imposed.
One week, one-way, 3000 miles. NF Endurance certainly lived up to its name with Team Sami, Drew’s Crew and Ari’s Angels. I can say that I’ve never been more proud, and, at the same time, more humbled, to be part of this team.
