As of last night my fund-raising goal of $5,500 has been met and surpassed. A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has opened their wallets for the American Lung Association and shown an interest my summer adventure. Without the efforts and financial support of the Friendship Junior High School community (administrators, teachers, students, and parents), my sister and her neighborhood posse of children, neighbors, friends, and relatives my participation in the Big Ride would be in question. I especially would like to thank my wife, Joan, and my boys, Brad, Tim, Eric, and Nate for their encouragement as I've prepared for this ride of a lifetime.
There is some additional good news to share; my mother finally underwent her hip replacement operation and tolerated the surgery fairly well. Her recovery will take time but she is already sitting up for extended periods of time, is in physical therapy, and has even taken a few steps (with a lot of support).

Mr. A--
Can't believe an old guy like you can ride a bike, much less across the country! Make sure you can you reach the pedals! :)
Have a great time and good luck. Don't let the bears catch you in the northern parts!
