Quote From A Participating P.A.C.E. Trek Student:

"I know it is hard for you to be on the road constantly, but you just keep on going until you reach your destination.
I think that would take a lot of guts to run with all the blisters and stuff like that. You are one of my role models that I think
could do anything you wanted. So I thank you for being there and showing kids around the world that if you put your
mind to something, you can do almost anything you want. THANK YOU!!"
