Project Open Hand- Plate2Plate

The weather gods were with us after our sweltering day yesterday, and our shoes were festooned with high tech gadgets to mark our time and whether we did indeed start and finish the Plate 2 Plate Challenge at Giants Stadium fundraiser for Project Open Hand over in the City.

Ida, Bobbi, Simone, Cele and I wore happy smiles prior to lining up at the Starting Gate. The highlight of the walk was being about to walk around the field inside the stadium and actually step on Home Plate and then scurry outside to head for the finish.


Here is our happy crowd just having passed the finish line and ready for a coffee and a free Giants game this afternoon. Giants beat the Colorado Rockies. Yeaaay. Such an enjoyable day filled with camaraderie, compassion, and expansive views of our beautiful bay while watching a major league baseball game. Such is the life of a happy walker.
