Sorry I can't make it Alex, but I did send money instead. Good luck with your efforts to raise money to help kids with brain cancer. I know someone whose child went through that horror - it's a good cause.

Thank you Richard.

On the side note. Yesterday after kids were in bed, wife and I were enjoying nice evening when my cell rings. I pick it up and and some girls starts talking to me. And it is beginning to sounds like a sales call, but I decide to stick around.

It turns out that the girls is 23 years of age and is a survivor of a brain cancer when she was a kid and just called to thank me for the effort. I think I have made a fool out of my self on this call because I was mumbling things left and right. ****, I have never expected a call like this. And what a timing.

I asked her if she is coming to the ride, she said no, because she leaves in NC.

I have no idea how she got a hold of my number or why she picked me, I am not the biggest contributer by far. Later on I realized that she might have had a tear or two going down while talking to me, based on her voice.

I am just glad that what ever little I have done might have helped her and others like her. It is a great cause for sure. I just wish I could do more then what I am already doing for those kids.

Thank you Victor.

I have been doing Toys for Tots for the last 7 years as long as I can get out from my sub division snow can be nasty while you are on the bike. In those cases where I can't I take my kid and we go to the local PD to make a drop.
