Start your week with news from The B+ Foundation!
Dave Corydon's "Ride for Andrew 2"
Can you imagine biking 5,000 miles in 55 days? B+ Supporter Dave Corydon is doing just that, while spreading the B+ Message along the way! Planning to average 98 miles a day, Dave's already on Day 9 of his bike ride across the country.
Dave is calling this "Ride For Andrew 2" because he biked across the country for Andrew in 2007, when Andrew was in the hospital!
Through our B+ Make a Difference fundraising page, where individuals or groups around the world can create events or fundraise to help us fight childhood cancer, Dave has already raised over $3,300 of his $5,000 goal.

If you'd like to follow his trek across the country, please check in on the progress updates that his wife, Lesley posts on FB.

College/High School Updates
Thank you to the University of Notre Dame (IN), St. George's HS (DE), Vorhees HS (NJ), and Severn HS (MD) for organizing B+ events this past week. It means so much more to us that kids are raising the awareness and money for our fight against childhood cancer. ND is especially nice since Andrew loved Notre Dame and said he wanted to play soccer there.
Remembering B+ Hero, Miranda
One year ago today, my friend, Miranda Ram-Nolte died. She was such a special young lady and I am truly honored to have gotten a chance to get to know her and spend some great quality time with her. I will forever cherish the long one-on-one talk that we had in the hospital just a few weeks before she went to Heaven. My prayers go out today to her family and all of her friends everywhere.
9th Annual B+ Fighting Childhood Cancer 5k
It's not too soon to create your team for our B+ 5k on WEDNESDAY June 17th at Salesianum School. I put WEDNESDAY in caps because we always have our run/walk on a Thursday but we moved it this year so as not to compete with Firefly. As always, there will be TONS of free food and drinks (Season's Pizza, Johnny's Dog House, Chick-fil-A, Marini Produce, Frito-Lay, Wawa). It's always a great night and we want this year to be bigger and better.
Create a team today, or create a 'virtual team' if you live far from Wilmington, DE and want to participate with us. It only takes a few minutes to sign up.
If you're interested in being a sponsor, please email me at Joe@LiveLikeAndrew.org.
June will be here before you know it. Signing up today will make it feel even sooner. ;)
