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

A Real Sponsor!!!

Sunshine Bike Shop in Springfield has committed to providing a bicycle for me to ride during the Benefit!!! I spent part of this morning on the phone with Kay from Sunshine and she has agreed to give me a great bike to use during my five day ride. When it's all over, I'll get off the bike and auction it off at the end of the ride event in Bolivar, with all procedes going into Granton's Benefit Ride account. If you're in the Springfield area, or even if you're not, get into Sunshine and give them all the business you can, and give Kay a big hug from the Granton Bayless Support Crew.

This an awesome thing you are doing for Granton and his family. I'm helping Amanda McCullah coordinate the event in Bolivar. At one time I think I heard that you were going to have Granton's name and a bible verse engraved on the bike. Is that coming together? Is there anything we can do help you once you get to Bolivar? Be safe and we'll see when you get to Bolivar! Kim P.
