Ryan, my son, and I traveled from
Foley AL to Montgomery AL yesterday, July 3, 2008, to meet up with the Code 3 for a Cure crew from L.A. California.
My husband, Doug, was on his way home for the 4th of July weekend, and he met us there in Montgomery. We were to meet
the crew about 4 PM and of course they were running behind. With all of their travels I was amazed that it was not farther
behind than it actually was. I think it was about 6 PM when they drove into the fire station. It was a thrilling
site to see them drive in as I had been following their journey through their web site. If you have not seen it you
really need to look at it. www.code3foracure.com. The crews main purpose is to raise awareness of cancer in firefighters. They have collected
names of firefighters who have lost their battle to cancer and they had one ceremony in NY and there will be another in L.A.
when they return home. It is a very special thing they are doing for the fallen firefighters and their families.
 The fire truck the crew is traveling in and
being followed by a red and white van. It makes a pretty package.
Jane Moulds, Lorenzo Abundiz and Peggy Abundiz
Lorenzo is 10 year LMS survivor and a bladder
cancer survivor. They were not aware of NLMSF until I contacted them from a google alert I read about their cross country
trip in a fire truck, raising awareness for cancer in firefighters and that Lorenzo was a 10 year LMS survivor.

Lorenzo resting for a moment. The crew is from
California and is not used to the heat and humidity of Alabama.

Thumbs up to those who have been fortunate
enough to beat this thing called LeioMyoSarcoma. Lorenzo and Jane being two of them! Lorenzo 10 years and Jane
9 years. We are very proud and happy to be here to have our picture taken!

This is the donated fire truck that the Code
3 crew is traveling in and the car that is following the truck. The truck does not exactly have the most comfortable
ride, as you can imagine.
