Hitting a Home Run for Hearing!

Each year 12,000 babies in the US are born with hearing loss. A “bionic ear” or cochlear implant (CI) would allow many join the hearing world. Jacob Landis, a CI recipient, is riding to all 30 baseball stadiums to raise money for those who could benefit from a CI but cannot afford one.

Tailwinds into Chicago and the Cubs Game
Well crunch time with games so close together has been a success so far. Rather than doing the 90 miles for three days to get into Chicago, we did 110 each day. That put us into Chicago, and then I rode about 60 miles towards Milwaukee. So on Tuesday, we only have a 40 mile ride before the Brewers game. I was definitely aided by some wind on Friday, doing 110 miles at almost [...]

Meeting a Kindred Spirit and Exploring Detroit
We got into Detroit yesterday, May 14. I’d heard the Detroit area has lost a lot of money, jobs, and population over the years.

When the ride began yesterday, we got into an area known as the Irish Hills. We passed dozens of abandoned homes, motels and businesses but [...]

Throwing Out the First Pitch and WIND
Well we just made it into Michigan after two consecutive days of 100+ mile rides. There has been a wind conspiracy working against me.

LOTS of Hills on the Way to Toronto
It's been more than one week now since my last blog entry. The last week’s schedule was tough, but successful. The Boston game was on Tuesday, and it was a good time. We had about 150 Jacob Ride supporters come to Fenway to watch the game with me! It was hard for me to meet and interact with all of the Jacob’s Ride supporters. Being a meticulous scorekeeper at baseball games (I love baseball [...]
