Extras
 

There is a fellow rider that needs your help. I have gotten a few emails about Mike Cantrell, a retired Mesa PD motor officer that has been diagnosed with Leukemia and needs blood. Here is the text that I received. "A fellow brother "Mike Cantrell" is in desperate need of blood/ bone morrow. He is to sum it up "one of the best people anyone can know". He is a retired Mesa P.D cop and has given back tenfold to his community and those lives he has touched. In a word "LEUKEMIA" has come into play and he is in a fight. United Blood service has set up a "pint for pint" blood draw at any location, just say retired Mesa cop Mike Cantrell, and they will get it to him. He is at Desert Sam and his beautiful wife Debbie and daughter would appreciate any help in the way of blood/bone morrow. An account has also been set up in his name at Bank of America to defray costs. He is an avid rider and the most genuine man I know and he is always in a good mood, the kind of man that is a real friend. He is a fighter. Thanks for the help. The "Choir Boys" are holding a benefit golf tournament for Mike on August 16th at 7:00 am at the View Point Golf Course in Mesa. For more information contact Chris Alonzo at 602-370-6885. It's always nice to put a face to a story. Here are a couple of pics of Mike and his wife.
