First TV Appearance on Great Day SA (San Antonio)

Hello!

Wow, it is hard to believe that I'm one day away from heading out around the country on my motorcycle. I guess it is still hard to believe and unfortunately it requires me to fold my laundry and getting my clothes pack. I just can not get out of doing my chores. Everything else is packed and the bike is clean and ready to go.

Yesterday, Deborah Barker (South Texas Chapter of LLS - Deputy Executive Director) and I were interviewed by "Great Day SA" at the KENS 5 TV station here in San Antonio and it was really fun to do. It looks weird to see the video on their website and think, is that really how I sound. I was shooting to look skinnier and better looking but that didn't work out for some reason. I was a little nervous though thinking that people that know me here in San Antonio are seeing this let alone the people I send this link out to. I did flub the donation website address when asked but they posted it as well so I have been redeemed. I do want to thank Eileen Teves (co-host) and Andy (camera man) for helping me through the interview.

So it looks like everything is in order and ready to go. I will be escorted by other motorcycles to M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Center in Houston, Texas tomorrow after the send-off party at the South Texas Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. If you are in the local area the address is 431 Isom Rd., Suite 125, San Antonio, TX 78216. You can use one of the online map searches for directions.

I wanted to thank everyone that was involved in helping me with this event and trip and especially those that sent/submitted donations. That really is the goal here which is to raise money to help researchers, scientists, and doctors cure cancer. Know this...cancer effects everyone of us in one way, shape, or form at some points in our lives which could be directly or indirectly so help me and many others in this fight against cancer. This is a national fundraiser so please do not think it is just a fundraiser for Texas just because I live here now. It is for the country and I need everyone's help.
