  • Pilgrimage for Progress on Prostate Cancer

    I have walked the Camino before, but never for a better reason. This time I will lead a group of pilgrims committed to making a difference by walking the final 250 kilometres of the Camino from Astorga to Santiago over 10 days. Please join us by letting your fingers do the walking and making a donation today.

  • “Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
    — Marcus Aurelius, born April 26, 121 AD
