Rest - Day 15: Ashley Averett


6/30/13

short stack :) 
Today is our second rest day! We woke up at New Community Christian Church in Saline, KS this morning and left to get breakfast. Half of our team went to starbucks for pastries and internet access. I went with 9 other teammates to IHOP. The short stacks they donated were amazing!!

After an amazing breakfast we went to a playground at a Catholic middle school. We pitched a tent and played some card games. Amanda and I went to the 10:45 am NCCC service. It felt good to be back in church (last Sunday we spent 4 hours getting lost on the top of a mountain on our way from Moab, UT to Aspen, CO).

After church we didn’t really do much until our second check ceremony at 4 pm. 
At 4, our team went to the park for a check ceremony. Today's rest was dedicated to Ashley Averett. She is the recipient of our second $2500 scholarship. Ashley was diagnosed in May 2012 with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. This coming week will be her 9 month check up since completion of treatment!
Our team made fajitas for the event and the San Francisco Biking team met up with us there to meet and present Ashley her check. The Bikers ended up staying with us at NCCC.
