I have been very fortunate to have the local paper support my ride across America. I will post the link to the article so you can see what the greater Yakima Valley got to learn about my ride for student scholarships. www.yakimaherald.com/stories/4440
Yesterday one of the local TV stations spent considerable time filming and interviewing me about the ride. The interview also included one of the Wapato high school teachers Gail Huibregtse. I suspect the piece will be shown sometime this weekend May 31 or June 1.
At this point we have sent out about 250 letters to friends and relatives asking for their support. This has been a new experience for me. I have sold thousands of raffle tickets for the local Lions Club but I have never asked people to support something that my name is attached to. I suspect I will get bolder as I get closer to the date I leave on the ride.
