OK, Here is the first posting of the Route I'll be taking and the first official details of the ride.
I'll leave Topeka (most likely from the Law Enforcement Center) on Monday morning, June 16th with one or both of my brothers with me in a support vehicle. From there I'll take Hwy 75 straight south to Burlington, where I'll spend the first night courtesy of The Christian Church of Burlington. The next morning, I'll continue south to the Bayless Estate in Havana for the second night. From there, I'll head back northeast to Pittsburg where I'll spend night 3 thanks to Countryside Christian Church. On Thrusday I'll take off eastbound and will spend night four either in or around Greenfield or camping at Stockton Lake somewhere (this part has yet to be determined.) The final day will be a short ride to Bolivar where I'll most likely end the ride at Bolivar High School, Home of the Liberators. Daniel and Jenni's good friends Clayton and Amanda McCullah are working on some sort of event for the completeion of the benefit-these are the people who set up the bone marrow drive in Bolivar so from what I hear, I'm in pretty good hands as far as planning goes.
-Just a side note, I went to the drive in Topeka and as of yesterday I'm officially on the National Bone Marrow Registry.
-Also, for those keeping track, don't forget the bone marrow drive my brother organized in my hometown, Bedford, IA is tomorrow (oh, it's after midnight-I guess it's today)

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, Sounds like your ride and stops are well planned! Hope you have a safe trip. This is an exciting benefit for Jenni, Daniel and Granton, and we hope many will pledge for your ride! Love, Uncle Jerry and Aunt Ellen
This will be an adventure you brothers will remember. I hope both Toby and Ben can be with you. We will start praying now for good weather and a safe trip. Love you, Aunt Sandy S.
