As Captain of Team Brailey, I would like to thank you for visiting this page.  As you can see by the picture, there are many members of Team Brailey made up of firefighters, state troopers, family and friends. Over the past 6 years we have been participating in the Escape to the Cape Bike Trek and thanks to you we have been successful in raising money to help find a cure for Alpha-1.  Last year Judy created a design for a patch, Teresa's company embroidered it and Jo Anne finished over 60 patches that were worn during the trek in memory of Alpha Angels.  Yes!  I wore Chad's patch with pride.  I actually rode 15 miles a couple days and for a guy with one new lung that's not bad.  This year I expect to exceed those numbers and hopefully exceed our donation dollars to the Alpha-1 Foundation.  Believe me, I know with the economy today, I realize that I'm asking a lot but please whatever you can contribute will go toward our goal of $5,000 to help find a cure.  Thank you so much for your continued support.  Thank you also to all those who join our team this year.  You will never know how much JoAnne and I appreciate your help.
