AS SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW, MITCH PASSED AWAY FROM THE SAME PANCREATIC CANCER MY MOM DIED FROM ON OCTOBER 19, 2005. THE YEAR FOR ME WAS VERY TOUGH. I HAD TO NOW DECIDE WHAT I WOULD DO. SO I DECIDED I WOULD RIDE ACROSS THE COUNTRY AGAIN INHONOR OF MY MOM(CAROLE), AND MITCH. BETWEEN NANCY BERKE AND THE REST OF HER FAMILY AS WELL AS VINNY PASTORE, AND CHA CHA FROM THE WISE GUY RADIO SHOW ON SIRIUS, ARE THE MAIN REASONS I RAISED THE MONEY I DID. IT WAS A CRAZY TRIP. I MADE IT TO CALIFORNIA AND THEN BACK TO TEXAS, THEN FLEW HOME TO START A NORMAL LIFE. BUT NORMAL MAY NOT BE ME.
