I would like to dedicated this travel bug to my wife Beth for all the hard work she does for JDRF Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, were she works at the Ford Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville. Ford Kentucky Truck Plant is very big on raising money for this cause, its goal for 2007 is 150,000 dollars ! ! My wife works on all the projects to help them try to reach this goal. By working and organizing things like there Raffles, Golf Scramble, Craft and Flea Market, and her personal project there Awareness motorcycle ride and poker run. This ride bell that I have added to this travel bug was one of the things that were in the awareness riders goodie bags last year. There are many stories about the Ride Bell. Here's one: Have you noticed that small bell on some people's bikes and wondered why it was there? It's more than just decoration. It has a specific function. As we all know, life has many mysteries that have no apparent solutions. One of these is Evil Road Spirits. They are the little gremlins that live on your bike. They love to ride. They're also responsible for most of your bike's problems. Sometimes your turn signal refuses to work, or the battery goes dead, the clutch needs adjustment, or any of several hundred other things go wrong. These problems are caused by Evil Road Spirits. Road Spirits can't live in the presence of a bell. They get trapped in the hollow of the bell. Among other things, their hearing is extremely sensitive. The constant ringing and confined space of the bell drives them crazy. They lose their grip and eventually fall to the roadway. (Have you ever wondered how potholes are formed?) The bell has served its purpose. If your bell was given to you, its power is greatly increased, and you know that somewhere you have a special friend helping to look after you. Hopefully its powers will work to drive away diabetes while traveling from cache to cache. If you would like to help her and Ford reach there goal you can visit there web site at www.fordktpcares.com and see what they have going on !! Maybe you can donate time or money or join in a event and help cure Diabetes !!
Congratulations and keep up the good work BETH !!!!!
