    Thanks Dave,
    None of this would be possible without the support of the many people who have help make this a success. I just do the driving and create the opportunity. The people who step up and open their hearts and wallets are the ones to be proud of. There is still a lot to do, so spread the word and let people know how to get involved. You can help by going to 49in7.com and have a look.
    Read the blog and come this thursday there will be a taped interview with the Director of Ronald McDonald House at Stanford, myself and Mc'ed by John Drummond form the Goodguy's, It was very cool to do and I'm sure you will like it.

    regards to all, Dave

    Just a reminder that @Butcher Boy's "49in7 Drivin' for the Kids" effort will be accepting donations for its worthwhile charity through February 2013 ... just click the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford logo to make a tax-deductible donation:

    Thanks Rosco Gordy,
    It was fun up in mn with Tom, Dale and Mike. Too bad I didn't get to meet more of you guys. Or maybe not, more then 4 could start a party if you're not careful. :) But the weather was nice for a while !

    Thanks for the kind words,

    Dave

    Hey Outlawsteel,
    My heart goes out to you and thanks for posting a comment. I have never had to use the House for my little ones and I am truly lucky. But believe me I know what folks go through if they have to use the services of the House.
    I hope everything worked out ok. I have met many parents who have lost their baby's. And most, like yourself continue to support Ronald McDonald House because of the great work they do and service they provide.

    Thank you !
    Dave

    Hi rd martin,
    Now you can join in with my Granddaughters who believe I'm their hero! I'm just a guy who wanted to help make a change and i love to drive ......... It was a perfect deal for me and I'm glad to have made it. Hopefully there are other who will find their way to help make a difference.

    All the best, Dave
