I am starting to get ready for this years event in which we will compete in early May. Every year we do a different route, this year we will be traveling mostly in the Central States starting in South Bend, Indiana, over to Ohio, west to Wisconsin then north to Minnesota, southwest to Nebraska then to Illinois, south to Bowling Green, Kentucky and back to South Bend. The event will be about 3500 miles. With the miles to South Bend and back home, the total will be almost 5,000 miles in about 9 days.
Gary "Duck" Drake from Hamilton, Ohio will be my Transit Driver, helping with the highway miles, this year and I will do all the competition driving. Duck is a car guy and should be a great asset on our adventure. This will be my 11th One Lap and we have raised over Twenty Six Thousand dollars for the Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition over the last few years. Make a donation and you can ride along "vicariously" (with your name on the top of the car) on the trip and help a great cause at the same time. The Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition, represents, supports and serves breast cancer survivors and their families in Pennsylvania through educational programming, legislative advocacy and breast cancer research grants.
To make a donation and get a sticker on the car, stop in at the store or send to Jim Roberts % West Main Auto, 14 W. Main St. Mount Joy, Pa. 17552 along with who to name on the sticker. Make all checks payable to PBCC for short. You can also visit http://www.pbcc.me/donate and donate by using your credit card. Just click on Donate and follow the instructions. Be sure to fill in One Lap of America when asked for title of event.
To help follow the adventure, I still maintain a blog at www.onelapadventure.blogspot.com where you can also find older stories. Or you can "Like" my Facebook page at Jim's One Lap Adventure. Keep watching for more updates.
