A Ride for Baby Granton

Granton Bayless is a six month old little boy from Bolivar, Missouri. In March of 2008, Granton was diagnosed with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID.) SCID is a rare genetic disorder in which the immune system fails to develop. Granton is the light of his parents' life and has become the focus of prayer for a countless number of friends, family, and others. The financial strain on Granton's Mom and Dad has already been great and has only been overshadowed by the emotional strain they have felt over these last few weeks. On June 16th, 2008, I will set off on a five day, 330 mile solo bicycle ride to raise money for Granton's family. Your pledges will allow us all to attempt to help alleviate some of this financial strain. This Blog will let you know how you can contribute, as well as keeping you updated on the progress leading up to and during the ride.

Thank you for your support and Prayers,
Jayme Green

Beginnings

The idea for a benefit ride for Granton came to me one week ago tonight. Since then, everything has seemed to just fall into place as far as planning goes. I guess when the Lord supports something it just kind of works out. This is just the first post to get the page started. Over the next few weeks leading up to the ride on June 16th, I will post updates on how the planning is going, the final determined route, any events that will coincide with or support the ride, etc. For anyone that has been on Granton's site today, you know it's been a rough one. Let's all pray extra hard for God's will to be done and for Him to hold Baby Granton in his hand.
