“The Ride for Maryann in combination with the Rolling Thunder Memorial ride for America's MIA's and KIA's proved to be one of the most moving and emotional journeys of my life. My mission was very personal but when I realized I could provide extra visibility to the Fight Against Leukemia as well as encourage donations to this very important cause it became I really focused on making it happen. JB and I spent thousands of miles riding across the country and we met some of the best people you could ever hope to meet, people like Jack Duncan, Randy Turner, Jay Giannini and strangers who provided guidance, support and heartfelt encouragement for our mission. I am grateful to Bob Ingoglia and our Angel Maryann and a special nod to Frank Cannata for endorsing this wonderful once in a lifetime experience."
