My Journey to Grandma's Marathon – History & Heroes

NOW AVAILABLE

Toboggan Run
A Collection of Short Stories

A daring adventure for six young boys on a beautiful late-winter night, with the full moon glistening off the pure white snow. As they looked down the steepest section of the ski hill summit, you could see the fear in each of our eyes as we were contemplating our next move. Two well-used toboggans were now in position side-by-side. Hearts were racing as we jointly shouted out “3-2-1-Go!”
