Head-On #15: Walk or Run the Strip for JFC; Party With Centurion; And Climb Angels Landing | May 24, 2017 (2 comments)
Las Vegas, NV--Aside from the business you are planning on for the Las Vegas Jewelry Week beginning next week, there are several other highly recommended, cool things to do.
Jewelers for Children Rings of Strength Event, Sunday, June 4, 2017--You can walk, run, bike or do Yoga for the wonderful Jewelers for Children (JFC) charity that supports kids in need and for which the industry has raised $50 million+ since its inception. The "Rings of Strength Tour" name originates from the story of Maggie and Odie - two beautiful children, diagnosed with cancer, who formed a deep bond that was illustrated by a ring of strength that Maggie gave to Odie during his fight for life.
Participants can choose to register as individuals or organize a team. When you register, you create your own unique URL that you can send to all your friends and contacts to ask them to support your participation. If you want to set up a team, register yourself first. Since 2013, more than $250,000 has been raised by the event participants, that went to support children in need.
It all starts at 5:30 AM Sunday Morning at Mandalay Bay, so you won't miss any of the show. Click the link immediately below to sign up or click the link below that to support my walk and help me raise more for JFC.

Join Me to Climb Angels Landing in Zion National Park the morning after the show (Friday, June 9)--This is about my fifth time making the trip and I can't wait, despite the fact that my right leg has some nerve damage. The ride is about 100 miles from Vegas on fast highways and I usually make it back by mid afternoon in time to catch a late afternoon or evening flight. The scenery is breathtaking and the climb, though rigorous is doable for most folks in decent shape.
