Don and Connie become members of the All the Way Gang in 2010 and won over the hearts of everyone that got to spend time with them.  They are from Alsip, Illinois and we were hoping to see them again on the 2012 Ride, however I got a phone call from Don that I didn't want to get.  Connie just found out that she has cancer.  This is a hard battle for Connie, Don and all the family, please put Connie and Don on your prayer list.

I think we should dedicate Route 66 from Chicago to the Chain of Rocks Bridge to Connie because Illinois is her home state.
