Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone!

So this past week has been a whirlwind with everything going on. Going back to school after a week off is pretty hard, especially when a week of really tough practices is waiting for you. We raced Ohio State and Franklin Pierce yesterday on Lake Lure and ended up winning the meeting. My boats didn't fare so well, but we were also put into the wrong categories.

Bike and Build fundraising has been going well, too. I have gotten a few more donations that have put me up at the $1400 mark. My wave of letters are going out this week, and a few of those people have already committed to sponsor me, which is a really good feeling. Thank you so much to Ms. Ona Ruth, Robbie and Kim Crane (all the way from Mississippi), Karen Westmoreland, Jeanette Harris, Rick and Diana Cromer, and Tim and Mary Mabe (all the way from TN). Thank you also to Congresswoman Virginia Foxx for her offer of a Capitol Dome tour in Washington for a possible auction.

More big news on the Bike and Build front is that my bike arrived in Chapel Hill on Friday. I had a fun time after I got home yesterday putting it together and taking it out for its first ride. Now I just need to get gear and goodies for her.

I still have about $2600 dollars to raise to be able to do this trip starting in May. Please, tell anyone you know about this cause and if they want to donate toward this wonderful cause, send them my way and I will be happy to give them more information.
