Just so all of you know, John Nikas took off this morning from Huntington  
Beach this morning in a 1953 BN1 on his journey to help Drive Away Cancer. 
Two  weeks ago, this car could barely get out of its own way, now with the 
help of  numerous Healey people, it and John are heading out on a 5800 mile 
trip from  coast to coast to coast. From Huntington Beach to Charlotte and 
then back to  Monterey, with the journey coming to completion on the main stage 
of the Russo  and Steele Car Auction in Monterey, California.
    To follow his trip, you can go to a Facebook page  dedicated to this 
endeavor:

)  

I know it's a long link, but I don't know how to  make them smaller, the 
page is totally public so you can go there and follow the  journey and if you 
hit the "like" button at the top, you will be notified of  updates. The 
route and timing will be updated there and I reach out to our  community to 
help 
out whenever they can, if they can. 
    It's fitting that the car itself has its own rust  cancer, but with all 
of the work and love that has gone into "Grace", we are  confident she will 
carry John all the way on his journey. A video of John  leaving the Pier 
will be posted soon on youtube and I will post the link to the  video as soon 
as it's ready.
    If you have any questions, do not hesitate to  contact me and if you 
can, pass the word to all the clubs along the way and  maybe a cheering 
section can be formed along the side of the road! As of right  now, the route 
is 
tentatively set as Highway 40 out to the east coast and then  80 back, but 
that may change and updates will be provided. And oh yeah, the show  in 
Monterey is on the 18th of August, so this is going to be one quick  trip!
    Thank you all,
Steven Kingsbury
BN1 #598
