Journey to Machu Picchu

A group of family and friends recently returned from a week long trek to Machu Picchu in early April. The trip was a fundraiser for Hike 4 ALS, an organization that puts on local and international "signature" hikes to raise awareness and funds in the fight against ALS or Lou Gherig's disease.

My mother died of ALS over two years ago and this incurable illness continues to strike without any apparent cause across the world. It is a horrible disease and we must do everything we can to find a cure. I will keep you posted as to when Hike 4 ALS has local hikes in Los Angeles, but in the mean time, please visit www.hike4als.org for more information.

To get the play-by-play and see any number of entertaining photos of our family's 30 mile trek, please check it out: journeytomachupicchu.blogspot.com
