Well, our Ride for Mobility had an incredible finish. Our good friends Barry, Tammy and Shannon organized an event Friday evening at a home of very generous supporters, Paul and Liz. Early the next morning Barry organized the “Miracle Ride for Mobility”, a homecoming parade for us with many of the most precious cars in the world. We then raced off to Long Beach where we joined 30 supporters on their bicycles for the last 25 mile ride, ending at Mariners Church. 
Reception at Mariners Church
The reception at Mariners was something we will not forget. It reminded me of what the end of the Tour de France must feel like, though our race is so different. Our race has no end, yet there is extreme happiness and satisfaction all along the road.Ours is a race to get the poorest of the poor off the ground.
A couple of happy guys!
Up to now most of my concentration has been placed on those we help in developing countries. This 56 day ride has made me realize the value of what we offer our own country, the USA. We personally met thousands of people on this campaign, and millions more heard us on radio, read about is in newspapers, or saw us on TV.


We are so blessed here at home, and I thoroughly believe for a reason. That reason is to help our brothers and sisters who are not so fortunate. We offer a way to do this, a way to get into the game. It is ever so simple, yet ever so powerful: Change a life forever: $44.40 each!

So far our Ride for Mobility has raised $511,600, enough to bring 11,522 wheelchairs to the poorest of the poor. Thank you all for your support!  In addition, we believe this ride the added critical mass of support we need to plan local events in Wheeling, WV; Chicago; Garden City, KS and Phoenix!
