head south, son

First of all, thank you to Michael Wallace for his contribution to my Push America fund! Mike is by far the best dyad ever.

Journey of Hope teams were assigned yesterday and I was given my first choice on the south route. This will take me through Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia, before all three teams meet in Washington DC on August 16. South route was my first choice because I’ll get to go through more states that I’ve not yet been to, 11. There are 4 crew members and about 25 riders per route.

The 2008 Journey of Hope team has raised $245,000 and our goal is raise another $200,000 before this summer. Before I can get on the road, I have to raise $600 of that. The fundraising deadline is April 15 – I have no doubt that it will be extended to June 1 as I’m ahead of many of my colleagues at reaching my fundraising goal, but I hope that everyone that hasn’t already made a contribution to my fundraising total considers doing so. As always, the link is at the bottom of this note.

Thanks for your support!
