Today is the day we get this officially started.
- We take this backyard of ours and transform it into a skater's dream.
- We begin to coordinate all of the details needed to make this a success.
- And, we get this blog put together.
Be sure to check back soon to see how we took this back yard and deck and transform it into our own backyard skating rink. This rink of ours has served as the host site for an annual 24-hour Skate-A-Thon. In years past we've coupled with Team Fox to raise money for Parkinson's research. This year we are looking into local Parkinson's organizations who may receive the donations.
In 2010, the Skate-A-Thon will be moved to January to ensure the ice is frozen throughout the 24-hour period. Last year we struggled at the end as temps creeped above freezing. If you were there, you know we relied upon children to stay on the ice and complete the 24 straight hours of people on the ice. We still had quite a few and they made it work!
Please partner with us in this year's Skate-A-Thon. Sign up for a time to skate, make a donation or just come by to make hot chocolate for those who will need a break. People of all ages and skating expertise are welcome. We hope to see you in January, and hope you check back often to find out how we are doing.
