Another long, long day came to a close with Dartmouth football coach Buddy Teevens hunkering down in Schoharie, N.Y., a western suburb of Albany. After a hot and hilly 175-mile effort, Teevens freely admitted to being "beaten up," but he was buoyed by the news that his ride has inspired you to donate more than $11,000 to The Prouty. He is now the No. 1 fundraiser for the annual walk/ride that raises money to support the work of Dartmouth Hitchcock's Norris Cotton Cancer Center.
Teevens is 160-or-so miles (by car) from Hanover. If he can get over the spine of the Green Mountains there's a chance he could make it home on Saturday. He'll certainly be home no later than Sunday.
NOTE: While Teevens is recuperating from his long day's work, Dartmouth's Leverone Field House is the site of the overnight Relay for Life, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. A certain Hanover High School freshman is taking turns on the track in exchange for pledges she collected in recent days. ... It's probably not the best way to prepare for the final softball game of her freshman year Saturday afternoon, but her parents are proud of her ;-)
NOTE2: Please scroll down to Day 18 and see the comment posted this evening by Jean Brown of Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center.
