May 27, 2007


































This morning, we opened the door to the hotel room and we saw the truck with the decal 'Believe' on it. Must be an Omen. The THF motto! See photo of truck

May 27, 2007 Pickstown - Vermillion 101

The morning starting out with some inspiration from Algreg, a 10 year old happy-go-lucky boy, who has MS. He was excited to tour Dick and Bill around his neighborhood on his 3-wheeler. (see photo's of Al). We met Al's Dad at dinner the previous evening when he told us of his son. We were all glad to have met them both on our journey. Al was anxious to show us something before we left. He walked up the street a ways with the use of his crutches, then turned around, lifted his crutches in the air and paced along without them. He grinned from ear to ear as we teared up. Believe!!! What a kid!

Today must be the quietest day yet. Winds at only about 5 miles per hour as a headwind still makes for a peaceful rolling ride...an occasional car but mainly the birds for company and song.

"A casual day today" -Dick

Tonight we will stay with Kevin Brady and his family in Vermillion. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your family with us!!! Your kids are absolutely wonderful! Kevin is not only a biker who will join us tomorrow, but the team leader for the MS 150 ride. He will lead the team tomorrow.
