Mission: P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C. (Pseudo-Athletic Triathlonlike Humble Effort To Invite Contributions)
Proceeds benefit Evanston Public Library Friends
Help me support the Evanston Public Library in good health
Howdy. So you got my email and here you are. I’ll repeat just a bit of that message: Can’t do a real triathlon this year, but can do the 3 activities, slowly, while benefiting EPL.
The aim this month is to bike/jog/swim 60/60/60 whatevers for my 60th birthday. Miles, laps, whatever. A total of 60-75 miles. (Most on bike, some on foot, maybe a couple in the water. Always slowly.)
A word about public libraries these days. They do so much. They foster literacy and community, and provide shelter. Library staffers are often first-line social workers as well as information guides. Their value is enormous, especially for our neighbors in trouble. EPL’s annual report tells much of the story. Check it out.
And thanks for your support!
