Chris Parker's Blogging

I have engaged in many Blogs for CatchItKansas.com. During the summer of 2008, I was a part of a group that did a relay from Wichita, Kan. to Washington D.C. to raise money for Civilian Protection in the Darfur Region of the Sudan in Africa. We raised $25,000 on the relay and I wrote a daily blog along the trip. Here are a few examples of those blogs:
