"Way to go, Gerry!"
There is a first time for everything, even for someone who thinks he has seen it all and done it all at 97 years young.
When I found out that Feed the Hungry had a challenge for a fundraising opportunity, I did not think twice and decided to help them achieve their goal. I had volunteered for Feed the Hungry for 10 years until 2018 delivering food to the local in-town stops. I can no longer drive anywhere, but I CAN CERTAINLY WALK.
I am a 4-time pandemic survivor. Since 1924, the year I was born, 4 deadly pandemics have hit the world. I simply could not think of a better way to honor my life, my family and friends, my legacy of giving and caring for the children of this country that has given so much to me, than by WALKING 3K FOR FOOD this October 23 in San Miguel de Allende (if for some reason I happen to be somewhere else, I will be doing this walk virtually).
I believe the children are the future of the country and want to do what I can to build their future. It starts with good nutrition for good health. I plead with everyone (especially with diabetes so rampant worldwide) to stay away from anything with sugar as much as possible, especially soft drinks! Eliminating sugar and having a positive outlook in life is what I believe has helped me live this long - I never expected it, so I humbly ask that you make that choice for your families, it's not easy, but only you can do it.
No child in San Miguel shall know the pain of hunger, that is a mission we share together with Feed the Hungry.
Would you help me complete my goal to raise $100,000 dollars by making a small donation today?
Thank you for your support.
Gerry Teldon, New Yorker by birth, San Miguelense by choice.

Queridos amigos,
Siempre hay una primera vez para todo, incluso para alguien como yo quien piensa que lo ha visto y ha hecho todo a los 97 años de edad.
Cuando me dí cuenta de que ‘Feed the Hungry’ ofrecía una oportunidad para retartme a caminar y ademas poder recaudar fondos, no lo pensé dos veces y decidí ayudarlos a lograr su meta. Desde el 2018, había sido voluntario como chofer para Feed the Hungry por 10 años llevando alimentos a algunas escuelas de la región. Ya no puedo manejar mi carro, pero claro que PUEDO CAMINAR.
Desde 1924, el año en que nací, he sobrevidido 4 pandemias que pegaron fuerte alrededor del mundo. Simplemente no puedo pensar en una mejor manera de honrar mi vida, mi familia y amigos, mi legado de dar y cuidar a los niños de este país que tanto me ha dado, que CAMINANDO 3 km para recaudar fondos para alimentos este 23 de octubre en San Miguel de Allende (si por alguna razón me encuentro en otro lugar, haré esta caminata virtualmente .
Creo que los niños son el futuro del país y quiero hacer lo que pueda con lo que me queda de vida para ayudarles a construir su futuro. Hay que comenzar con una buena nutrición para tener una buena salud. Les ruego a todos (especialmente ahora que la diabetes esta presente en todo el mundo) que no consuman azúcar, ¡especialmente los refrescos! Eliminar el azúcar y tener una actitud positiva en la vida es lo que creo que me ha ayudado a tener esta larga vida; nunca lo esperé, así que les pido simplemente que tomen esa decisión para sus familias, no es fácil, pero solo ustedes lo pueden lograr.
Qué ningún niño en San Miguel conozca el dolor del hambre, esa es una misión que compartimos junto con Feed the Hungry.
¿Me ayudaría a completar mi meta de recaudar $ 100,000 dólares haciendo una pequeña donación hoy?
Gracias por tu apoyo. Gerry Teldon, neoyorquino de nacimiento, San Miguelense por elección.
