The most unbelievable thing happened on Tuesday. When I returned home from my weekly mens group meeting my wife Jayne informed me that John Glinatsis owner of La Jolla Electric had donated the remaining balance needed for me to participate in the QMDC ride from San Francisico to San Diego in October. I pledged to raise $10,000 this June and was stalled at $5,200. Everyone I knew who could donate had generously done so and I was stressing because I knew that I either had to win the 
radio contest, receive donations from people or businesses that I did not know or forfeit what I had raised and try again next year. Failing this year and starting over next year is not an option so I decided to give people something for their money and am offering to detail their vehicle inside and out for a donaton to the Challenged Athletes Foundation. Of course I was and am determined to win the XX 1090 cycling challenge in which I would be granted the $10K to go but that is another story. So when I get home Jayne tells me that she showed John my blog and after reading it he asked her how much I needed to raise to reach my goal. Jayne told him $5,000 and the next thing she knows he hands her a check for $5,000! You have no idea how much pressure that relieved. Knowing that I could focus on training and not having to worry about fundraising is a great relief! Jayne and I have been blessed and we know how forturnate we are for all of the good things we have in our lives but outside of our family this is the most generous thing that has ever happened to us. We cannot thank John and La Jolla Electric enough for their amazing generosity. Please if you ever need any electrical work call La Jolla Electric as you already know what kind of company they are. John I wish I had the words to properly thank you but I don't think I do. Jayne and I appreciate you very much and hope you are as blessed in this life as we have been! I will do my very best for all of you who have so generously supported me financially, morally and spiritually. Every donation small or large is meaningful and sincerely appreciated. Thanks to all of you again!
