Hey all,
So as I mentioned in my previous post, I’m a long time lurker and newbie poster. I’ve been a fan of TPR since 2001 when I ordered my first VHS coaster season from Robb, and although I’ve been an avid reader of the forums since 2005, I hadn’t posted a thing – until now. Coasting for Kids and Give Kids the World is changing that. I can’t think of a better opportunity to introduce myself to the TRP community than the lead-up for this wonderful charity event.
I’m originally from Northern Virginia but I moved to LA a few years back for work. I’m gonna travel back across the country to ride with my brother Joe (who’s not a TRP member, but grew up on Robb and Elissa’s coaster season VHS’s along with me).
I’ve set my goal at $300 and hope to surpass it. My brother’s goal is $75 but will probably go up. I don’t personally know any child or family who’s benefited from a charity such as this, but I’m warmed by other member’s stories. I hope by participating in this event I’ll become closer to the cause. I’m very happy I’ve been given this opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life. TPR members sure have risen to the occasion and I’m proud to be a part of such a generous movement. Here are our links:

And here’s a quick bunch of photos to complete my introduction. Can’t wait for June – thanks everyone for reading and donating if you can. Looking forward to getting to know you all better.
