4TH ANNUAL CANCER WARRIOR TRUCK - CRUISE TO BLANK CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

 On Saturday, we were part of a cruise to Blank Children's Hospital to form a parade of cars, trucks and motorcycles for the kids to watch.  Scott Erickson is the organizer.  He's a cancer survivor but he does this for the kids.  It was a beautiful day for it.  There was a car show afterward.  More people took part in the cruise than stayed for the show...plus there was another larger show going on at the same time.  The numbers weren't great but we knew it was for a good cause.

We met at Water Works Park before making our way downtown.


Bill ended up having issues with the Falcon so he and Maggie peeled off to go home before the cruise.  We met Travis with his '32 Hiboy.

It was hard to see clearly but we did see kids in the windows.


Love reflections!


The show at CDS on Bell Ave.




This is a very nice '64 Ford.


Girl Power!


This is organizer Scott Erickson's truck.  He painted the sign below.  Awards were given and then separately they announced the "Scott's Choice" award...to Mary Lou!  This was his personal favorite.  What we will win is him painting Mary Lou on wood just like below!


Scott's story.

There was a large sign...one side I'm a Survivor and the other In Memory Of


We were involved to honor Jane's son Brian.



They told me to pull Mary Lou up for her photo session to help Scott with his paiting


Looking good!


This was a participation award for being there. Due to the low turnout, no one walked away empty- handed.


Dean and Linda were up for the weekend and they joined us at the show.  Then took them out for a cruise after.
