I wonder how they can call this Skate for Hope. there's already a Skate for Hope happening in Ohio later this month.

Hmmm...could there be a series of "Skate for Hope" events?
Probably just a coincidence that they used the same name.
What charity is the Ohio show benefitting?


PS - Any chance of a new podcast soon? I have a long drive coming up this week and I do so like to listen to your podcasts. I'm saving the most recent one for the trip.

My last podcast #6 was with Amy Hughes (mom of emily & sarah) and we talk about Skate for Hope, since Emily is the main headliner. The next one I'm conducting the interview next week, so too late for your drive. Sorry! (but very glad you're listening!)
