Thanks for having your ping folks add me :-) How fun to see the weekend thread midweek and not go 'scrounging' for it!
Here's another feel good story from another one of my buddies...JJ Yeley was one of a few drivers (Hamlin another) to visit St Jude this week. Here's an account from my buddy Baby Jake's dad (Jake is currently in the ICU and sedated) after JJ had met his grandpa earlier on http://www2.caringbridge.org/la/jakeowen/ I hope that Yeley sees the update his dad wrote on the site. His visit clearly encouraged them yesterday. The update sure made me smile last night.
The newspaper article mentions Yeley's visit with Jake and some other kids a bit, and also Hamlin's visit. A nice article about various ways several of the drivers reach out. http://www.commercialappeal.com/mca/auto_racing/article/0,1426,MCA_462_4790325,00.html
So, while indirectly related, since you guys know this is how I wound up here anyway...figured I'd pass them along!
Thanks again for letting me join you guys!
Glad to have ya aboard and thanks for the St Jude visit info and links.
Those two are but two of the many good young men doing us all proud on the circuit today and hopefully a long time to come..
Those stories make my lifelong ailments seem so trivial.
God Bless all and wishing a full recovery for Jake...
