Day 14 ~ Eureka, KS to El Dorado Springs, MO

Woo Hoo, finally out of Kansas. Brent is excited about that (as you can see below)


With 4 states down, only 3 to go. Brent was happy to enter Missouri.

Many things will start happening just to change the scenery a bit. Tomorrow night, Brent's brother-in-law Mike will take over as Crew Chief. Brent will be sad to see Dan go as he has put in 2 weeks of grueling work with Brent. Driving & waiting, driving & waiting, oh and driving & waiting. I'm sure he's ready for a change in scenery as well. Thank you so much to Dan for being there for Brent and taking this time away from his own family to support this wonderful cause.

In a few short days Brent will meet up with his sister and brother-in-law and Regan to meet one of Regan's surgeons, Dr. Jeffrey Marsh at St. John's Mercy in St. Louis. He is known for his work with children who have Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome.

From St. Louis on to the finish, in Milwaukee, Brent will then ride with both his brother-in-laws as the support crew.

Miles ridden today: 128
Total to date: 1612
