AS THIS PAST WEEKEND FOR THE RUN FOR KIDS CAR RIDES..IT HIT HOME FOR ME, MY WIFE, AND I KNOW ALOT OF OTHERS THAT WERE THERE... YOU WOULD THINK THAT WE HAVE PROBLEMS, AND THEN YOU LOOK AT THESE POOR KIDS WITH TERMINALLY ILL DISEASES, IT MAKES YOU SICK... FOR THE NEXT RUN ( THANKS NOAH AND VERNON) I WOULD PROPOSE A LARGER , LESS CONGESTED AREA, WHERE IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER FOR OUR RIDES...AND PLAN A LONGER DAY.......... IF ENOUGH TIME IS GIVEN TO ME...I MAYBE CAN PULL STRINGS AND GET THE ENERGIZER BALLOON THERE TO GIVE RIDES TO THE KIDS AND FAMILIES.AND EVEN MAYBE PUT SOME MONEY IN THE DONATION BOX FROM THE DRIVERS TO HELP OUT THE RONALD McDONALD HOUSE... I CERTAINLY WANT TO BE A PART OF THE NEXT RUN TO HELP..AND MAYBE WE CAN DO IT 2X A YEAR....IM UP FOR ANYTHING TO PUT SMILES ON THESE KIDS FACES... ANY IDEAS GUYS?? BRUCE-ANDREA....
you are a good man bruce. I wish I could help, but I am only 17, and I do not have connections.... Don't you just love the holiday season? the spirit of giving is in the air, and people put others before themselves.
WE DONT NEED LAMBO OF BERGEN FOR ONE RUN IM SURE WE CAN ROUND UP ABOUT 30 OR SO EXOTICS , PROBABLY MORE THAT WE KNOW, AND MAKE IT A ALL DAY AFFAIR......... LOOKING IN THE SPRING MAY-JUNE AND ONE IN NOV FOR THE FALL............
ILL HAVE TO CHECK WITH NOAH ON THE BUSES AND VERNON ON THE FOOD.. OR WE CAN ALL CHIP IN AND HELP..... HAVE TO FIND AN AREA WHERE ITS BIG ENOUGH FOR A BALLON TO LAND, AND A NICE COUNTRY RIDE FOR KIDS....HINT HINT
Excellent idea Bruce. I'm actually helping someone right now try to plan an event similar to this one. If you are looking for a partner of some sorts, I can speak with him. We are having trouble finding hospitals in the local Pa. area that will even allow their children outside, no less give the kids rides.
I go to school in West Chester, Pa. He lives in the area as well; and he doesn't really want to go too far into NJ or DE.
There is another Ronald McDonald House near LIJ / Schneider Children's Hospital in New Hyde Park...I can provide contact info if there is interest. Kevin http://www.schneiderchildrenshospital.org/sch_ronald.html
THANKS FOR YOUR POST STILL VERY EARLY STAGES, BUT MAYBE WE CAN JOIN BOTH HOUSES.. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THIS WINTER THANKS BRUCE
Bruce I am def in!! Cars are never a problem they are the easy part guys . Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Bruce if there was anyway we could get something within 2 hours of philly I know a lot more people would join. Just two weeks ago we had a turnout of about 15 cars for a drive. Erik
IN (if Mondi is running!) I heard that the organizers wanted newer cars. I would find it hard to belive that non f car people would turn their nose up at ANY f car.
