Greenville Rally

Our Rally for Anthony was today in Greenville. Everything started at 6:00 when I got a phone call from Z103 the local soft rock station. They put up a blip about us during their morning session. After that, we all got up and headed to talk 1070 to record a spot with local celebrity, Henry Hinton. On the show we were able to tell Henry all about our fundraiser and our ride. While we were off air, we also had a chance to share Tom's bruise with everyone in the studio - they were thoroughly impressed :)

After that, we headed to the hospital. They were really busy, and the waiting room was packed. So Candi, the social worker, rounded up a bunch of kids and we went outside to show the kids our bikes. It was our first "group presentation".

Finally, we went to Ouback for our fundraiser with Anthony and his family. At the event, we had 3 news stations, which was probably the best publicity that we have had at a fundraiser thus far. We also had a bunch of kids there, and we were able to give them all Vineyard Vines whale hats and teach them the "Whale Song". Our final event was a visit to Coffman's Menswear where we did an instore appearance for Vineyard Vines.

By the time we had finished, we were exhausted. So we headed to a pool where we played sharks and minnows with a bunch of neighborhood kids. After a week straight of planning and riding, it was good to just goof off :) Tomorrow, we will head towards Virginia, our fourth state.
