There’s a busy day ahead for the team today. First up, Deb (pictured) is on her way to New York from London. When she lands just after noon local time, she’ll then make her way into Manhattan and then onto the meeting point in New Jersey! That’s quite an effort after a long flight.
Meanwhile, Carlton and I will be getting picked up by Steve at 1100. It’s a 2 hour drive up state to pick up the motorhome. This will be my 4th long term hire of such a vehicle. It’s never a straightforward process. Although, everything had gone very smoothly so far, this time around so perhaps that won’t be the case. We’ll then drive the motorhome to the meeting point in New Jersey and go and get Deb. There’ll then be a mad dash to get supplies. I anticipate that will mainly include porridge and UHT milk.
The motorhome will stay in New Jersey tonight only a few miles from the day 1 finish line. I’ll be staying in Manhattan with Steve and his family tonight before the run across the USA gets underway tomorrow at 0800. So a busy day ahead for us all.
Today's weather, brought to you by Chapman Ventilation, D-Line Cable Management and Hadrian Healthcare Group, in New York is nice and sunny. Tomorrow is expected to be cloudy and cooler. That was the case when I set off from Cottesloe Beach on the run across Australia back in 2013.
Thanks to everyone who has made a donation to St. Benedict's Hospice so far via https://www.justgiving.com/page/rungeordierun2025. £220 has been added to the USA 2025 charity fund so far today. We are inching towards the £13,000 barrier. That’s just brilliant at this stage of the run.
