Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, August 17, 2007

Okay -- this will make a great "What I did over my summer vacation" essay. Tennessee assistant coaches Holly Warlick and Nikki Caldwell are hopping on their Harleys and riding cross country to raise money for breast cancer awareness.

All funds raised along the 2,700-mile journey, being billed as Cruisin’ for a Cause, will benefit The Wellness Community and other breast cancer charities. The two will depart Berkeley on Sept. 2 following a rally on Sept. 1 that precedes the football Vols’ first game of the season against California. Their route, being sponsored by FedEx/Kinkos, takes them through Las Vegas; Flagstaff, Ariz.; Albuquerque, N.M.; Amarillo, Texas; Dallas; Little Rock, Ark.; Memphis and Nashville.

During the 11-day trip, rallies will be held in Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Dallas, Little Rock, Memphis and Nashville. A celebration concert and rally will welcome Warlick and Caldwell back to Knoxville on Sept. 12.

Businesses or individuals interested in supporting Cruisin’ for a Cause will have the opportunity to do so through sponsorships or pledges. Pledges may be made at any of the rallies or through the Web site – www.VolunteersCruisin.com.

Both will have their laptops with them, so expect "On the Road" reports...and if we're lucky, they'll find the time to check in with WHB.

Ride safe, you two. Too bad my bike has pedals...
