What this is all about -

You may ask why are we signed up and trained for such a race. For our team, RAAM is not just a Race Across AMerica, it is a race to better our community. Our charity is North Coast Community Service (NCCS), which teams with 11 nonprofit organizations in San Diego County to make a difference in people’s lives. In the past 12 months, 5,500 NCCS volunteers have completed over 450 unique service projects. There is a broad spectrum of support which include the following: feeding and providing shelter for the homeless, assistance to a drug and alcohol recovery program, a home for people disabled by HIV/AIDS, support of military families by providing: financial support, home improvements, baby supplies, childcare, and counseling, outreach to nursing home residences, help to pregnant teenagers and adult women, help for homeless kids, and non-profit resale for foster children. This is just a short summary of the help provided by the organization we are raising money to support. If you feel compelled to join us on our journey and support making a difference in this world, you can make a tax-deductible contribution to our team. Please follow this link Support NCCS RAAM 2008.

Way Behind

Sorry - We are way behind on posting and have been slammed since returning from the week in Annapolis. Here is a link to a movie from the practice RAAM ride we did Sunday night - Shakedown Video. We rode the course out to Brawley practicing rider exchanges, vehicle logistics, and nutrition. All in all it was a positive experience. More to follow later.

Lastly - if any single ladies are interested, the young Ensign here in the photo is available. I can vouch for him that he is a solid guy as he is my youngest brother.


However, you better like a tall man -
