Todd spearheaded the organization of the first annual Coastie's Cruise for Kids, to raise money for Special Olympics and Coast Guard families in need. A motorcycle ride from Legeune MotorSports in Jacksonville to Buffalo Wild Wing's in Morehead City. The ride had 28 bikes and I think 33 people, and took a little over an hour. Todd was told by others there that it was a good turn out for a first ride. They intend to do this every year and hopefully get more and more to turn out for it. They raised a good amount and Todd and I met some Special Olympians at BW's and sat down to talk with them and the coordinator for Carteret County S.O. Here is the flier I designed for the ride, I also designed the t-shirt back. I enjoy that kind of thing, maybe I should check out web design, who knows?!
It was the first time I have gone for a long ride with Todd since my Achilles tendon rupture, so Todd was happy, he has been asking me for month's now. I did go on a short ride around Havelock with him, but that was not much for him. It was a nice day and we had fun together, we even stayed and had lunch a BW's. They LOVE him there, he is one of maybe 6 people that still work there from the opening. They treat him like he's a manager, he's one of the oldest and by far one of the most reliable employee's. I think EV(the owner) would hire him as a manager if he didn't have a REAL day job. I'm glad he mostly enjoys it, because he works really long hours. Thank you Todd for being a great husband, father and provider!
