10 mile hike #4

Me and my dad went on a out and back hike at new port Rhode island.We hiked on a trail called cliff walk. Its three and a half miles long so we had to stretch it to five miles by walking along the road. we didn't bring water at all because people were selling water along the trail. We saw some pretty cool stuff we walked threw tunnels looked down at cliffs walked on rocks and seen some cool mansions. it was hot but i had sunscreen.

Jim Valvano's Speech

Jimmy V was a man who coached college basketball and then he got cancer. He gave a speech when he knew he was going to die soon. His speech was important because more people are getting effected by cancer then any other disease. But our country wasn't spending enough money on cancer research. In the speech Jimmy announced the Jimmy V Foundation witch is dedicated to saving lives by helping to find a cure for cancer. He also says "Don't give up don't ever give up".    Now his foundation has raised over 100 million dollars for cancer research.  One line I like in his speech says every day you should laugh, think, and cry.
