You're Invited to Come Along

This Summer Dennis and I will be driving ocean to ocean with other MG enthusiasts. We start our trip from the Atlantic Ocean in Ocean City, Maryland and complete the trip in San Francisco, California when we dip a tire in the Pacific Ocean. We are planning to take this trip in our little yellow MG Midget (you can see the picture below). The challenge will be to pack enough clothes for a 6 week trip for two people in just one suitcase! It could be difficult, but we are up to the challenge.


Every 5 years the MG Council of North American MG clubs hosts a grand festival celebrating the history and character of motorcars built by the M.G. Motor Company in Abingdon, England. This summer it will be held in Reno, Nevada. Some very ambitious planners came up with the idea of driving coast to coast and the Rallye to Reno was born. We will be crossing the United States on Highway 50--also known as the "lonliest highway in the world." I am sure we will have many adventures along the way, and we invite you to join us via this blog.

AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU

This adventure across U.S Highway 50 through thirteen states and the District of Columbia will also provide a platform to raise awareness and hopefully generate donations in support of the research efforts funded by the Alzheimer's Association with a companion event--Rallye for Research. Dennis and I have both lost our mothers to this devasting disease, and we were happy to join the cause and will be known as "Team Born Again."

Alzheimer's disease is a brain disease that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior and it is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other symptoms that interfere with daily life. We are asking you to partner with us as "Co-Drivers" by contributing at $.01 per mile, or $32 (3200 miles), or any amount that you are comfortable with. To donate to the cause and to support our team, please use the following link:

Thank you for your generosity. We look forward to hearing from you and we will keep you posted on our progress.
