I'm getting a little bit of a late start this year. GL4X4 members has been some of my top supporters in the past! This a big year for me as it is my tenth year involved in Make-A-Wish. (9th riding, one volunteer)

This year I will be riding from Traverse city, MI to Michigan International Speedway in three days at a total of 310 miles on my bicycle on the last full weekend in July. I'm riding to raise money to grant wishes to children with a life threatening illnesses. This event is the largest single fundraiser in the world for Make-A-Wish.

We are hoping to raise over 2 million dollars this year!
There are 900 riders, but it wouldn't be possible without the countless number of people who donate to those riders and help them raise money for this awesome event. My goal this year is $2,000. So, I'm asking you to be as so kind, to help. Every PENNY helps, please don't hesitate to donate any amount you feel you can spare. A dollar or five hundred, all of it greatly helps the cause!

You can see my donation website and track my donations by visiting here:

There you can see what I've raised and how close I am to my goal.

Through www.wishmich.org you can also track the rides progress as we ride and see bios of all the wish heroes(children) we ride for. This year I am riding for Ethan. Ethan was diagnosed with Lymphoblastic Lymphoma and is now 6 year old. There is more information about Ethan and his wish online as well as a photo of him below.



You can donate on the page above easily, or email me and I accept cash, check, and PayPal. (PM me for details)

Thank you in advance for you generosity.

Feel free to join us on the last day of our ride at Michigan International Speedway for the Hero's Hurrah. Where we get to meet the children and swap stories of the ride and eat good food!

That would be awesome!

He accepts Canadian donations I'm sure
Nope, no discrimination here! I accept donations from all. Even Canadians.

My son was granted a wish this April....


This is a great program and my hats off to your efforts!!
Thats great! If your can you should join us at the finish line! I hope he is doing well. It is the only organization or cause that would get me to ride this far on a bike. I only ride to train for this ride and participate. Its a great thing they do.
