“What’s an ‘orphan’?” asked the five-year-old girl.
Her mother explained to her that some children grow up with “no mommy and no daddy”. The girl couldn’t believe it.

I just got an email from Tyler:
“We start the run in 4 hours from the Caspian Sea! We’ve been put up in a 4 star hotel, and have a TV crew waiting at the starting line. Also, there is an ambulance ready at all times in case anything happens. Lots of tea and kisses in […]
