UPDATE:  As you all know, John Gisondi has been dealing with throat cancer and so far, things have been really positive.  While the fight has been good it has taken it's toll financially.  John and Christie are faced with an inability to meet their expenses, due to the fact that he has not been able to work since this journey started and the road is long ahead to a place where he can resume his ability to produce an income.  So working hard to get back to a place where he will be back on his feet and ready to go!  If any of you are move to contribute even the smallest amount it would be so appreciated - we completely believe that John will get back on his feet and pay your kindness forward.
