Rubicon ORBEA : Children's Hospital Visit

Children's Hospital Visit

June 15th

It was a bright and sunny day in uptown, Minneapolis as we traveled to the Children's Hospital to meet our new little fans. Bikes clean, hair combed, LIVESTRONG wristbands, chalk and autograph cards all in hand. We met Kathy Dowd at the front checking office and she gave us the lay of the land sort-of-speak. We broke up into two groups of three; Taylor, Mike and Roman in one, Jason, Ben and I in another. We went from room to room talked a little bit about bicycles, but mostly about New Zealand and Canada and handed out goodies all where received with bight smiles.

Next we arrived at Children's Tree House, a in-house TV stage where as the Children's Hospital broadcast a hour long fun show with special guest two times a week. The kids in the hospital look forward to interacting with the cast and crew as the kids are encouraged to call in and answer trivia questions. We met "Dude" the host of the show, nice guy for a guy named "Dude".

As the show started, we where allotted 10 minutes of air time to interact with the kids and answer questions -but the kids where so intrigued by the team, that they kept the guys on for 25 minutes and closed out the show with the Rubicon boys . . . Even one girl called in just to tell the guys that they were ALL cuter than Justin Bieber -Everyone busted out laughing and we knew at that moment we made a difference -we took the kids away from their daily routines of treatments and had them laughing and enjoying themselves.

Children's will be sending out a DVD of our TV visit, I will post it on our website and facebook as soon as we get it so you can all see.

We want to thank David LaPorte, the Owens Family, Quality Bicycle Parts, and everyone else who pulled together to get us to Minneapolis and the Nature Valley Grand Prix -your act of kindness, helped us bring sunshine to some pretty sick kids in MN. -From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU.
