She always came by to pick up recyclable bottles but we had not seen her for awhile. When asked where she had been she told me that she had been diagnosed with cancer and began to cry. I knew this needed to be our first attempt to help someone in need. She had four sons, ages 7 to 14, who would come along and help. When we did the event I was so impressed seeing all of these wonderful people reach
ing out to help one person. One man named Creeper stood out; he didn’t know her but was moved by what was happening around us. That was an amazing day. Since then we have helped so many organizations like American Diabetes, Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, Totally Kids in Loma Linda, Boys and Girls Clubs, One Breath Foundation, Donate Life, More Project, Wounded Warriors and many people and families; the list is endless. Our fundraisers have been such a moving experience for all of us. Even though we are not at the same location, I see that the seed that was planted and the foundation that we set are still going strong by helping people in need, attending events that are doing good work and helping our community and people around the world. So we now have this fan page to encourage you to keep PAYING IT FORWARD (PIF). Our first PIF DAY is April 29th from 12-4 P.M. at the American Legion in Cypress. This is a fundraiser for Down Syndrome in honor of Zachary and we will also have a rally for Louie Lopez, the Iron Worker we help back in 2009. Louie is now running for the Iron Worker’s Union Business Agent. See how he is PAYING IT FORWARD and how many people he has helped since his motorcycle accident where he lost his leg. Louie never gave up because we never gave up on him. I want to conclude by saying thank you to the American Legion for letting us have this event at their location and for all the troops and vets for giving us our freedom to do this. Special thanks to Spike and Gill who never give up on Bikers rights and have been there every step of the way, and to all of you who have been part of this amazing journey giving your time and love.
