DragonRider Posted August 17, 2012 #1 Posted August 17, 2012 Time to start planning on making the trip to Memphis, Tn, to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We will be making our presentation to the hospital of the monies we have raised this year. I need to get a count of how many are going and which facility they want to tour, the hospital or The Ronald Mc Donald House, both are fantastic places to see.
GAWildKat Posted August 17, 2012 #2 Posted August 17, 2012 Mike and I have plans to go, we'll see how fast I'm moving then lol
Yama Mama Posted August 17, 2012 #3 Posted August 17, 2012 I want to go really badly. I will strongly persuade Ron to bring me there. Yama Mama
b2dad Posted August 17, 2012 #4 Posted August 17, 2012 Lewis We wouldn't miss it. Don votes for Ronald McDonald house. Either is fine with me...however, either way I will have to bring something to soak up the water in my eyes. Can't figure out why they get so wet when we do this. See you there Patti
Carbon_One Posted August 17, 2012 #5 Posted August 17, 2012 Calendar is marked. This will most likely be my last ride of the year. I'm having an Cochlear implant done a few days later so by the time that heals enough to get a helmet on my riding season here is next to over. Larry BTW: We had a great time attending last year
DragonRider Posted August 19, 2012 Author #6 Posted August 19, 2012 Looking forward to seeing a lot of old faces and new faces at St. Jude this year, its always a good time and Patti is right, there must be something in the air that makes our eyes water every time we got there................:crying:
playboy Posted August 19, 2012 #7 Posted August 19, 2012 Lewis do you have and itinerary for the 6th.
pmelah Posted August 19, 2012 #8 Posted August 19, 2012 Lewis i have to be in Atlanta 9th - 12th if the ride was for that weekend i could do it just cant do 2weekends in a row sorry i would love to be there to see the toughest kids in the world put a smile and a tear on so many adults faces (mine included) those kids are an inspiration and have a lot more guts and courage than i do i cry when someone says needle yall have fun and remember plenty of Kleenex
DragonRider Posted August 19, 2012 Author #9 Posted August 19, 2012 We will be meeting at the Flying J/Pilot Truck Stop that is at the Junction of I-40 and I-55, this is in W. Memphis, Ark. We plan on arriving there between 10:30-11:00 am. We will have lunch there and then proceed over to St. Jude which is a short ride across the river. You will have the option of touring the hospital or the Ronald Mc Donald house, which is just across the interstate from the hospital. We have done the RD House once and everyone enjoyed it so the folks at St. Jude said we could have groups do either of the 2, but there wouldnt be enough time for everyone to do both. Lewis do you have and itinerary for the 6th.
Snarley Bill Posted August 19, 2012 #10 Posted August 19, 2012 we will be there. looking forward to it. linda has never been there so it will be a first for her. see you all soon.
Eck Posted August 19, 2012 #11 Posted August 19, 2012 Dragonrider, He bud, I wont be back from my trip in time to attend this year, but if I was in town I would see you again in Memphis. I have enjoyed going and supporting you in this for several years, and I hope others who can make it this year get the same bug.. This is a great time everyone, so if you can make this event, please support Dragonrider (AKA- Lewis). Couple of favors to ask.. When you get to Memphis, kick B2Dad in the shin and give Patty a big hug for me...Shake Carbon one's hand and tel him HI for me, then kick Snarley Bill in the shin with your other leg and tell him that was from Eck.. Ride safe everyone.
Snarley Bill Posted August 19, 2012 #14 Posted August 19, 2012 ya gotta love eck, he's one of a kind.
murph35640 Posted August 20, 2012 #15 Posted August 20, 2012 Hey Lewis, I will be coming and it looks like i may be bringing about ten or twelve folks with me. I have eight who have committed and a couple of other couples who aren't sure yet. Something about that place....... once you see it you just want to go back every year. Seems like I may need to ups those shirts out to you, my MIL may not be going back home for a couple more weeks!
DragonRider Posted August 24, 2012 Author #16 Posted August 24, 2012 Well if she decides to stay maybe you can stuff them into your friends bikes, your bike, and bring them with you, we always collect donations there for the shirts and never seem to have enough to go around. Just a thought. Hey Lewis, I will be coming and it looks like i may be bringing about ten or twelve folks with me. I have eight who have committed and a couple of other couples who aren't sure yet.
