LBC Cross-Country Rally

Though a long-time Spridget driver and vintage racer, I'm preparing my '53 MG TD to run the <span style="font-style: italic">Rallye to Reno </span>from the east coast to the 2011 Lake Tahoe MG International. Since the car has been neglected for 30 years and seems to need so much attention, friends began to question my sanity. So, I figured if it is really so "out there," I could use it as a way to increase awareness of the issues related to pediatric cancer and also raise some donations to <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">CURE Childhood Cancer</span></span>, a 4-star-rated charity dedicated to cutting edge research, training and support of young patients and their families.

Work is underway and I've posted the occassional blog entry as the date gets closer. Ride along at MGDrive for CURE:

See you in Reno...and Tahoe...and San Francisco...and wherever else I have to go to get back to Michigan!

Great story, John!

OK - this is taking place in June? When will you be in the Kentucky area? Any way to keep up with where you are at any given date?

Thanks, Mickey. The rally starts on June 4th on Ocean City, MD and follows US-Rte 50 across the country, which I believe goes down the Ohio River Valley by way of southern Indiana (which I learned when I lived in Louisville, is considered a part of Kentucky...except during basketball season).

You can follow along with my occassional blog entries and I hope, once the rally starts, to have regular updates and maybe some sort of interactive map. www.kidsCURE.blogspot.com
