A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Go James, Go!

This Saturday James is taking part in the Buffalo Tour de Cure to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.

It’s also his first century ride. Last year, he managed 65 miles (a metric century) and raised over $1000; this year he’s set his sights on 105 miles and $2000. There’s already $1,820 in the coffers, and it would be great if some of you lovely people could help give him an extra push towards his goal.

His fundraising page can be found here, good luck James, and well done!
