Blaze of Glory

Here's my usual disclaimer: If you're new to this blog, please read my first post to get an understanding of what I'm trying to accomplish. The short version is that I'm trying to create a charity motorcycle run to fight homelesness in Los Angeles, with an emphasis on homeless vets. Success in LA will be branched out in other cities across the nation. That's the short version. Now for this week's post.
I've been real busy lately, but still trying to move forward. I saw Paul Rieckhoff, a First Lieutenant and Iraq War Vet, on the Stephen Colbert Report last night. I'm going to try and get in contact with his organization, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. http://iava.org/
Also, I just found out about a ride with a similar mission to my own, in Orange County, CA. It's the Blaze of Glory run. It's this coming weekend, kind of short notice, but I hope some of you will see it here and try to make it out there. I'm going to try and volunteer, maybe I can make some contacts.

That's all for now,
Pete
