The first annual ride for wishes was a total success in terms of
money raised, with 100% of donations going to the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. The ride itself was challenging, but it was a drop of
water in the ocean compared to the challenges that wish children
face daily. Last year, your donations made the wish of a local
child, to have her bedroom redecorated, come true. These wishes
enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy that
these children and their families so desperately need.
 
Please visit my my Facebook page, RideForWishes Rides, to learn more about my next adventure starting July 6th,2010.
This year, I will ride from Orange County to New York, stopping at several
wish houses along the way. Please help me make more wishes come true
this year and send donations the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Check my
Facebook to find t-shirts, mugs, and hats to support my ride – proceeds
from these items also help to support Make-A-Wish!
 
Thank you for your support and as my saying goes, it does not matter what
you ride, as long as you Ride for Wishes.
 
Thank you and keep the chrome side up!

Dear Family and Friends
I know it has been a while but the planning for Rideforwishes New York style is starting to take on steam.I have met with some very fantastic people at the Orange County and Inland Empire chapter of The Make-A-Wish Foundation durning the last few weeks and it is starting to take shape.We are going to get a twitter account going so you will be able to follow the ride there.I will also be posting ever chance I get on face book.If you want to friend me there it is called (Rideforwishes Rides).This years start date has not been set yet but will be within the next cpl of weeks,so stay tuned for more info. Like last year I will be making this trip to help raise awareness and resourses for a very special foundation that has not only helped my family by granting Dylans wish but grants wishes to thousands of kids all over this country. Last year I also had a promise to keep and that was to complete the ride to Alaska that my brother Bobby and I had planned to do together.This year I will be doing it to honor all the children that show so much courage in overcoming their illnesses.Seeing first hand the power of a wish has inspired me to cross this country on two wheels in hopes that everyone will find it in their hearts to support this event.
