People up this way know all about the Pan Mass Challenge-- the very successful cycling event and fund raiser for The Jimmy Fund.

But check out this article on its founder and his experience with Trail Magic on the AT. Th mention of the AT is a few paragraphs in, but worth checking out. Of all the memories and experience this man could have brought up in his interview with the reporter he chose to include one of simple trail magic.

Makes me wonder...

It makes me wonder about the power of small kindnesses when a person who has helped raise literally hundreds of millions of dollars towards a very important cause finds $4.00 worth of decades-old trail magic worthy of mention to a reporter.

It makes me wonder what the woman who brought that coffee would say if she read that article.

It makes me wonder about how many other ways the Trail has impacted people lives for the better.

This is a great story.
