San
Francisco, CA
- The
mission: To drive a 1971 BMW 2002 across the United States from
San Francisco to Newark, New Jersey, ship the car to Germany
to make the Bavaria 02 Tour in Oberammergau, Germany for the
Year 2002 celebration. The drive will be in honor of a Uncle
Saul, a family friend who was diagnosed with Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) more commonly known as Lou
Gehrig's Disease.
Goals
- There are couple of goals that I would like to achieve. The
first is to spread education and awareness about ALS and how
it has effected Uncle Saul. Secondly
to share with people how Uncle Saul has been a tremendous influence
in my life. Third, to make it to Germany for the Bavaria 02
Tour that takes place from May 29 - June 2.
the
route
- The planned route is to follow Interstate 80 all the way across
to Newark, New Jersey. I will be driving by myself and I want
to stick to a major Interstate just in case something breaks
and I need help! Once in Germany I will drive south on the Autobahn
to Oberammergau. Oberammergau is a small town located near the
Austrian boarder.
how
you can help
- I'm doing this trip completely independent of any organization.
Unfortunately I am not independently wealthy and the cost
of this journey is quite expensive. If you would like to donate
to my efforts you can send money via Pay Pal to evan_chong@hotmail.com.
