Carl and Sallie McDonald, a brother and sister team, will be riding bicycles from Florida to Oregon in the summer of 2011.  Each day will be dedicated to those whose lives have been affected by the preventable crime of drunk driving.  Each pedal stroke, each turn of the tire, will be from two who carry a very personal loss of our own.

Carl is a retired Lieutenant in the Wyoming State Patrol.  He currently serves as the National Law Enforcement Initiatives Manager for Mothers Against Drunk Driving.  Sallie is a retired executive with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.  Sallie’s niece, Carl’s only child, was killed in a drunk driving collision in 1998 in Green River, Wyoming.

We ride in memory of warmer summers.

The ride is completely unsupported.  Carl is on unpaid leave and he and Sallie are donating their time, efforts, and personal expenses to the journey.  The effort is a fundraiser for MADD, and is their way of paying honor to those who know the loss of this preventable crime.   Each day will be dedicated to those who know the losses.  There are too many of us.
