Day 31: "Happy Birthday To You."

February 9th: Four days left!!

Today we would be celebrating my Dad's 60th birthday. I have not had a lot of sad memories of my Dad. Almost every time I think of him, it's a positive thing.

The only time it gets sad is when I think about the things he won't get to experience. Weddings, grandkids, birthday parties...

Today would have been a really fun day for him and all of us.

Well -- there is great news today, as well! We just reached $3000!! Considering the original goal was $200 or $300, this is amazing! Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed to turning our small contributions into a meaningful donation to the students at Akili Academy.

This week I'm taking it nice and easy, trying to recover from my 20-mile run. Lots of two- and three-mile runs. More biking than running.

Lots of thank yous coming up on Day 32's entry!

Thanks again for being a part of this!

Sincerely,
Matt
