I am a member of Rotary and our organization has been working worldwide to eliminate Polio since 1985. It is now down to three countries and once it is eliminated they can redeploy those health dollars to other issues. Our incoming District Governor took me up on the offer that if I would try to cause some excitement with a motorcycle ride (and pay for the ride out of my own pocket) he would promote it widely and we could raise some money to eliminate this terrible disease. We decided to call the ride Coast to Coast The Hard Way.

I am in Prudhoe Bay and depart in the morning for Key West. Until June the 20th we have a Rotary family that is going to double all contributions up to $15,000 and after that the Melinda and Bill Gates foundation is going to triple the amount raised. A $5.00 donation ends up being $30.00. A $20.00 donation ends up being $120.00. Please consider a donation to this worthy cause.
In the end we will not only raise some money for the Polio eradication effort but also place a BMW motorcycle in a favorable light.
You can watch my progress (or lack of) on the web site.
Please pass this information onto anyone who may find it interesting.
My G650GS was really really fun on the way up the Haul Road but it could be a little warmer.
