What a cool car! Thanks for sharing this story about Adam and Nissy. Every year Susan G. Komen teams up with BMW for a driving event that goes to all of their dealerships. Susan G. Komen is dedicated to helping women with Breast Cancer though. The have one of the BMWs go to the showroom where all of the drivers of the BMW can sign the SIGNATURE car. For every mile the drivers drive the BMW, BMW donates $1 to Susan G. Komen.
Thank goodness for kind people like you and Adam that raise funds for awareness and research. I'm so sorry for all of the loss Adam has had to endure because of cancer. The disease is horrendous!
Did not know about the Pink Car. Certainly a great cause.
On another note, I like the troops in the background of your site. Thanks for the photos and your service.
