Alice's Drive Message Documentary Update |
It's been a long while since the completion of the drive and, for most of us...mentally shifting gears back into our normal lives, back to work and back to families took a little getting used to. The drive was a roaring success and we thank every single person who came out to support us whether you drove along, hosted us for a pancake breakfast, found our group a place to stay for a night or two, got us front row access to Niagara Falls or even simply honked and waved as YOU passed US! It was a terrific experience, long, challenging, hot, cold, smile, tears...you name it.
