Even though I had to ride 94 miles through an early morning rainstorm, today was a great day. The ride was relatively flat along beautiful Lake Erie and the roads were good but that’s not what made it a great day. Seeing Danny and Cherie and their friends John and Linda made it a great day. Danny and Cherie are Cindy’s cousins and they are instrumental in keeping all of the family members together in a large cohesive and loving community. They also have been large supporters of my MS Rides.
Yesterday when I arrived in Geneva, Ohio they were waiting to greet all of the team members and then Danny, Cherie, Frank and Linda provided all of us with a delicious Italian meal. Cherie even made a sign welcoming the team and a sign of encouragement for me. I can’t express how much this meant to me. Everyone was very impressed with their kindness and generosity.
Now I‘m off to Cleveland where I‘ll meet Cindy, Maura and our friends Deann and Dan. I can’t wait. Two days of a little slice of home.
