Interview on Bucher's Beat!

May 21st Ross and I were interviewed by Jim Bucher on Channel 2 news.  Despite us having to be up at 4:30am it was an awesome experience.  We had numerous people from the community come out and support us!  

Each day were getting closer and closer to our $10,000 goal for the ABTA.  If your not keeping track at hope.abta.org/wrightflyers2009 we are just about to the 10% marker.  We both feel this is a good start, as we hope many more donations come in as we hit the road.  

We have made our plans for departure, which will happen June 6th.  We will be driving down to Virginia Saturday the 6th, then starting our journey either that afternoon or early Sunday the 7th.  We will be updating this blog at least twice a week, but hope to see that number be more like 5 times a week.  We know that you all will be very anxious to see how were doing!

Dayton Daily News & Tipp City Rotary


On Thursday May 7th the Dayton Daily News ran an article on our bicycle trip.  I think that the article was very well written and should be positive for gaining donations.  On Tuesday May 13th Ross and myself will be the guest speakers for the Tipp City Rotary.  This is going to be a wonderful chance for us to get in front of up to 75 local business owners who are potential sponsors.  We are both looking forward to taking the next month to promote the trip as we will depart in early June.  You can see our news article by clicking here.
