Danny’s Ride, The Final Update

Our riding ended yesterday. We are all in Charleston through the Memorial Day weekend. Danny Jr. and his family are here and went to brunch with Danny and Lynda. Sean enjoyed being with his fine friends. Charles rode 51 miles with his neighbor, Paul Deaton, this morning. The ride took less than 3 hours, averaging over 18 mph. Lydia spent time with her Mom and Sister. Roman is having a blast at the beach with his family. And Floyd’s wife is so very pleased to have her arms around him after nine, very long weeks.

We received a call today from Patsy French. Her best friend has improved from her car accident and is doing much better in the Columbia hospital. That is a blessing!

This afternoon we cleared all our belongings out of the trailer. We also took down our shelves and prepared the trailer for return to Bubba’s Truck and Trailer. Danny, Roman, Charles, and Lydia lived out of this trailer. It also carried our bikes - on top.

Cleaning Cleaning

We all spent many hours cleaning the motor home. (See PIC). Lydia worked long and hard on the inside. Danny, Floyd, and Roman, worked on the outside removing our sponsor’s logos. It was very hot, both inside and outside!

The Post and Courier, the oldest newspaper in the South, published a story in this morning’s paper. Please click on this site for the full article:

The Danny’s Ride show aired tonight on WCSC TV-channel 5. It began at 6:30 and ended at 7:00. Jim Demauro and Joe Grammer’s supreme efforts were evident. Lynda and Danny watched with his extended family at his Mom’s house. Charles watched with all his family at his sister’s home. Floyd watched with his wife at home. And Roman watched with Lydia and their family at his Grandmother’s home. It was a perfect summation of the effort, pain, purpose, and pride we all felt. We are positive that all viewers felt they had walked part of the trek in our shoes after viewing the show and listening to the music.

Thank you all for following and supporting our cause. And thanks for helping to take our message of early detection and swift treatment to your friends, family, and to heart.

Love to all,

Danny and Lynda, Floyd, Lydia, Sean, Roman, and Charles

PS – We want to share a pat on the back to Charles for providing his time, equipment, and especially his effort, even after long days on the bike, to do these updates. We also want to thank 2zoe.org and cking@WCSC.com for uploading these memos and thus allowing them to be shared with you all.
