Thank you to Fairfield, Virginia, Volunteer Rescue Squad for a great dinner! I have to admit that this week I have had several cravings for meat. The fried chicken tonight was no exception but I held strong and chose the chocolate pudding instead. I can not thank all the squads enough for the huge welcome you have given us into your houses. We all know it takes a lot of time and money to put together a reception for us, it is appreciated! We also LOVE visiting your stations, meeting all of you, and of course, checking out all your cool vehicles and equipment!!
Kiernan and Gary of Ireland gave out some tokens to some of the directors of the ride from Ireland. I took some photos of that tonight at dinner. Kiernan told a very special story of a friend, John, that was killed a few years ago in an ambulance accident. He read an email he received from John's wife during this week about John and how proud she was of the bike ride. We were all in tears by the end. You might have never met anyone others are riding for but you are in tears while they are telling the story. They ask you about the individual(s) you are riding for, you ask them the same, and by the end you are both crying and hugging....
