Congrats Dad and Team!

My dad just finished his 300 mile bike ride for Make A Wish up in Michigan. How awesome is it that Cameron and I were able to see him finish all the way down here in Alabama thanks to the live feed from the Make A Wish website!! I was able to capture a screen shot of it. He's a little blurry, but that's him getting off his bike and that's my brothers FIL behind him.


This is my dads 2nd year doing the Wish A Mile. It is a 300 mile bike ride from Traverse City Michigan to Chelsea Michigan. They ride 100 miles each day for 3 days. He raised $1,723 exceeding his goal of $1,500. His team (14 riders) raised a total of $22,007 exceeding their goal of $21,550. The even of 800 rides is hoping to raise 1.6 million which will grant 200 wishes. I am not sure of the total yet, but last report was $1,554,732.67
WAY TO GO RIDERS!!!


ETA:
The local paper did a news story on them before the ride. John is my dad, Theresa is my brothers wife.

Little Update From Michigan

Cameron and I are enjoying our time here in Michigan so far. We have had a chance to visit with some of our family and Cameron has had a lot of time with her cousins. Today we will be meeting my dad at the finish line of the Wish A Mile 300. He has checked in the last 2 days after he completes his 100 miles. It has not been easy but he is doing it and we are all very proud of him! My mom had a picture on the computer of my dad from when he was training that I wanted to share. We will be taking lots of pictures later today. We were actually able to see him riding in to the first stop at Ferris State on Friday because of the live feed they have been broadcasting online. He is also in one of the still shots they are showing as well. We all thought that was pretty exciting and it's nice to be able to see the riders on their journey.
