Riding for Andrew

(Andrew is our hero in Birmingham. He is also Superman)

We dedicate every leg of our ride to a local kid fighting cancer. The ride to Birmingham is for Andrew. He has been fighting medulloblastoma (a brain tumor) for over 3 years. He's a hero to all of us. We are hoping to see him today and tell him about our ride for research.

We'll probably show his family some of our pictures, bruises, and gear and tell them all about our ride for Andrew. For the rest of you, here is a quick picture diary of events from yesterday ...

(we pumped up a tire until it exploded see previous post)

(rode through torrential rain)

(fought off ferocious wild dogs)
(climbed several mountain ranges)

(raced semi-trucks on a state highway)

(found two girls to take over chase car duty. Rally on Nicole and Claire!)

Phew ... that was an exhausting ride. Wish us luck today as we visit with Andrew and the other kids at Children's in Birmingham! Stay tuned ...
