2007 MS-150 Donation Request and Story of Judy's Gaurdian Angel
I just wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who made donations to the MS-150 after the request in December 2006. We are 7 days away from the charity ride from Houston to Austin . We are very honored and excited to be able to ride for such a worthy cause.
The overall fund raising goal of the MS150 in 2007 is to raise over eleven million dollars. My personal goal is $1000. I have to raise at least $400 or they won't let me ride next year. I'm at about $250 right now.
If your not familiar with MS you'd probably be interested to know that it is the number one disabler of adults in the US and their is no cure.

On another note, Judy, Sheridan and I were traveling to Corpus Christi yesterday. Judy was sitting in the back seat with Sheridan and Judy wasn't feeling well so she had her head down on the front seat. I'm driving behind a boat and I see what looks like a piece of wood bounce off the concrete and then bounce off our wind shield and shatter it on the passenger side. Glass flew everywhere inside the car and Judy wakes up. The Windshield is still intact it just looks shattered on the passenger side. I check to make sure Judy and Sheridan are alright and they were so I speed up to the truck that was right in front of us that I assumed was responsible. When I approached the left side of him I noticed he was on his cell phone so I start honking my horn to get his attention and wave him to pull over. We pull over into a smokehouse parking lot and I tell him what happened and he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about since I was asking him if any wood had flown out of his boat because he didn't have any wood. Then I showed him the windshield and I took his insurance information. So they drive off and Judy takes the baby inside the Smokehouse. I start cleaning up the glass that's all over the car and eventually I find a piece of metal behind the back seat and I realize that it wasn't a piece of wood. I also realize that this piece of metal penetrated the windshield like a stabbing knife and if Judy had been feeling better that day. She'd be dead.
check out the pictures I have posted from that day
I like sports with contact and I like games full of suspense. I like extreme sports and I like pushing to the limit.
I do have a great wife and family. I'm very blessed with good friends in my life.
