Cheers for lilycicero's creative and generous idea to help!

That picture of Red facing down his dinner on the sidewalk was priceless...:~)

I have another idea, and while not as creative as lily's or even unique, would be a fun way to help these Marine's with their legal fees.

Why not "sponsor" one or more of our accused Marines, just like they do at marathons and such.

We could base our pledges on a number of things, such as the miles in a given leg, the full trip down, up, or round trip, how many riders overall participating, etc.

The mileage numbers could be based on Don Dinsmore's odometer, and I bet he could be persuaded to get any other criteria needed, such as number of riders or miles in a given leg.

Even a nickle or dime a mile could be substantial given the length of the ride, but it'd take an awful lot of us to make a dent in the families' legal bills.

I'll start it off by pledging 5 cents a mile, for every mile put on Don Dinsmore's odometer during the extent of the run for each of the three that still have murder charges pending - Wuterich, Sharratt, & Tatum.

Hi everyone, this is Don’s wife. Just wanted to let you know that I just talked with him and he has just under 900 miles added to his odometer for this trip so far.

Great idea to sponsor Don’s ride! I can’t take credit for being creative, silly maybe, but not creative. Man I wish I could live in a FR only neighborhood!
