I want to thank everyone of you for having been so generous. We have now raised close to 20k and in 5k...it will be mission accomplished...the other 25k should be coming in from the 2300 members of the celiac foundation in the next few weeks.
You have done your part , now comes mine...but rest assured....
I have never been in such good shape, both body and soul...the cold is gone, the legs have been quietly resting for the last few days and they are eager to go. I certainly don't expect it to be easy but i definitely feel up to the challenge.
Your support and my friend Philippe Charest pacing me for the last 10 miles of the race will probably clinch the deal and have us finish the race before dinner on sunday...
We'll try to put live  updates during the race (if possible) so keep checking---otherwise i'll have a full report on monday upon our return...


cheers and thx again for all your support (the  3 charities thank you very much)
