I am holding this event as part of my volunteer activities with @ycaps.bsky.social . The general public is welcome and there is no participation fee. This coastal area is very pretty, not far from Tokyo, and offers a great deal of interesting history. www.ycaps.org/odawara-hike...

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine
