When two working VWs meet

Two VW women working on different projects, yet both using their vintage 1971 VW buses to tell stories, met at San Jose State University on 23 April 2012. Here you can see Julia Weber’s ‘Mr Orange der Story-Bus’ and Carole Brown’s ‘The YesWeCan CamperVan’ getting close and sharing some thoughts on future possibilities!  Maybe they’re [...]

Updates and wishes

I’ve been busy so apologize for the absence here. Here’s some things we’ve been doing in preparation for our cross country drive and our awareness campaigns ….. The YesWeCan CamperVan passed its Massachusetts inspection last week and is in fine health. My VW is now sitting outside here on Cape Cod awaiting signage for our [...]

Could this be our route for “MG Awareness” road trip?

CLICK HERE for larger map http://mapq.st/nKlW9W I guessed that if I did a zigzag route it would be about 6000 miles to Portland, and this shows around 6200 (and there’s more places to add in California yet). This is the first draft of my route, so there’s time to ask us to call into see you. [...]

Midwest responsiveness

So far I’m not even sure about the route, since it depends on which VW clubs I can get most support from for the MG Awareness campaign. Interestingly the most responsive MG charity in the nation has been the [...]

THE REASON we will be driving across America in 2011

June is MG Awareness month

Please tell all your friends that June is the official month for MG Awareness. Together let’s raise the visibility and compassion for people with this disease.
