Dear Johns Hopkins,
Thank you for all your help with Jake’s fundraising effort. It has meant a great deal to all of us.
Unfortunately, Jake’s grandfather passed away earlier this month. He was blessed with 16 months of good health and happy memories. He lived to see Jake reach Halifax and they celebrated the accomplishment together.
I have burned 11 photos on the accompanying CD. The photos are travel log of the trip from NJ to Nova Scotia. There are photos of the George Washington Bridge entering New York as well as photos as we entered Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. There are several photos in Halifax and one or two other shots.
The trip was a great experience. We covered an average of 75 miles per day over 10 days and took off the weekend in between. The weather was terrific, especially by August standards. We were rained on one morning, but that’s not bad over 10 days. We met many people from all over North America and they were all very impressed with Jake and his idea. Hopefully we accomplished what we had hoped to accomplish and this endeavor will help cause cancer sufferers and their families in the years to come.
Thank you again for all your help.
Sincerely,
Martin Moskovitz, M.D., F.A.C.S.
