ITS HERE

many thanks to the donors who have given to support my mission of raising 100k for the Boys and Girls Clubs.  We have $61,000 in the bank so far. Were it not for these clubs, many and probably most of these kids would be on the streets between 3 and 6 pm every day and at the very least not getting their homework done thus falling behind academically to their peers and at the worst getting into trouble while their parents are at work. 80% of all jeuvenile crime occurs between 3 and 6pm. The national average for kids graduating from high school that start 9th grade is 67%. However 87% of kids that attend a Boys and Girls Club graduate with their class.
A BIG SHOUT OUT TO COMPUTER GEEKS...Parker and Jerry accomodated my type A personality and pulled off creating the website in record time...thanks yall
I did not ride any today. It felt really weird. I did my first club presentation to the kids and it was at our very own club in Pitt County after work today.  I threw 1200 one dollar bills up in the air in front of the kids to show what i was doing to  PAY IT FORWARD by giving that amount to each club in Pitt Co. and to each club along the way. i also donated a bike and will present to the child that in the month of May, the employees at the club determine did the most RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS
Sendoff is tomorrow at 345 from my office....  come join the fun
