Rancho San Antonio, in Los Altos/CA

This blog is not all about hiking so please use it to let others know about anything that make peoples life’s better.  It could be information on housing, loans, financing, wealth management, up-coming events, fundraisers, restaurants, recipes etc. 

But for now I propose that you make this year a year of fitness and wrap it around some of the beautiful spots that our Bay Area has to offer. This is a great inexpensive way to spend time with the people you love and enjoy. I have never been to Rancho San Antonio hiking trails, but plan to go this weekend with friends. Here is the link to information on the park.

As you conquer obstacles, leap fire, and crawl through the mud of Warrior Dash, kids at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® are fighting for their lives.
St. Jude is one of the world’s premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other deadly childhood diseases. It costs $1.7 million a day to operate St. Jude, where families never pay for the care they receive.
By becoming a St. Jude Warrior and fundraising, you will inspire hope in children who need it the most, the patients of St. Jude.
In addition to getting training and fundraising tips, Warriors who raise at least $250 will gain access to the St. Jude Warrior Tent and everything they’ll need on race day including:

• Free food and drinks
• Private showers and bathrooms
• Private bag check

It’s easy to get started! Select “Yes I want to be a St. Jude Warrior!” during your registration. St. Jude will contact you with details on your fundraising efforts and will be with you every step of the way.
