Harvest of Hope Ride, Oct 18, 2008

It's always my pleasure to volunteer as support driver with my van and trailer for this ride to raise money for the Harvest of Hope a retreat run by Memorial Health in Savannah. The ride developed by a great guy named Patrick Booton and his lovely wife, La Verne. A two time cancer survivor, Patrick cannot swallow food due to surgery and must feed himself through a tube to his stomach, every year he rides the entire route between Augusta and Savannah, 140 miles on this day. This year about 75 riders raised money to ride with Patrick in cool weather with great rest stops. Everyone was able to ride with a police escort as they finished the ride into Savannah and to the Memorial Health area in Savannah. The picture was made at the first rest stop yesterday.
