Via Tom Javenes- 1,000 Anthony’s Nose hikes in less than 9 months. When I think back over 8 years ago when I was learning to walk again at Helen Hayes hospital it was hard to imagine ever hiking Anthony’s Nose once let alone almost 5,000 times since my injury. I think about my days at Helen Hayes every day that I hike. I remember all of the people that were doing their best to make themselves stronger every day. I know that I will never be 100% again because of the nerve damage in my neck but I will do the very best with what I have! Pain is and will always be part of my life but I do not take any of the 10 pills a day that they want me to take. Most of us can do more every day. My 3 favorite months to hike are coming up. Let’s see where the number ends up. One foot in front of the other and you never know how far you can go.

5 more hikes today for ANH#1,000o23. Thanks for the sign Larry and Jackie.

Awesome job, Tom and a truly great story that shows what you can do if you never give up.
