I volunteered to help with Hurricane Katrina with the Red Cross. That was an experience. I spent 10 days in Louisiana at a shelter with people from the Lower 9th Ward. I learned so much about the human spirit (both the good and the bad). It was simply amazing.

I also have done Search and Rescue work with the local Sheriff's office and trained a search dog (Tucker, where my user name - And Tucker Too - comes from). I quit when Tucker was struck by a car. I didn't have the heart to continue with him gone. He was a very special dog.

Now I just raise funds for cancer awareness with my annual ride and through other activities.
