OK, here's a quick update of where I'm at with things. Everything is going smoothly as far as planning goes. The route is set, I'll post it officially when I square away all the particulars of where I'm going to stay each night, the exact roads traveled, etc. I spoke with Debbie at the Bank of Bolivar and as of today, we only had three pledges. So if you haven't pledged yet please consider doing so and try your best to get word about the ride out to everyone you can possibly think of.
It was great to hear about all the successful bone marrow drives-it's awesome that they had so many people that they actually ran out of kits at one of them!

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

How to Pledge
All the money collected in this ride will go toward Granton and his family, your pledges will be deposited into an account at the Bank of Bolivar in Granton's name. Granton's benefit ride will be a 335 mile ride when all is said and done but for simplicity's sake, I am rounding it down to 300 even. So, if you pledge 10 cents per mile, your total would be $30, 25 cents would be $75, a dollar would be $300, and so on.

Jayme - Some of us Iowans(Nebraskans) are planning a benefit over the July 4th weekend in Bedford too. So anyone who would like to help with it, let me know. ksbrown@huntel.net. Uncle Bob & Suzanne, Ben, Gma Bonnie and I are all on board so far. But I haven't had a chance to talk to others yet. We are thinking a Hog Roast. Will update as plans progress.
