In  September  2006, my brother Mike and I arrived in Ushuaia, Argentina.  It was a bitter sweet ending for the two of us.  In July last year, we took off on 'Spinning Southward on Jean's Journey'.  It began in Pruhoe Bay, Alaska and each of those 15,000 miles was to celebrate the life of our mother who lost her battle against brain cancer.

The people we met in this ride, the extreme tests of our spirits, the beauty of each country we rode through will remain in our hearts for ever.  We owe  you thanks for helping us reach and pass the financial goal of this Journey, also.  More than $60,000 were raised for the National Brain Tumor Foundation research program, the best way we could think of to help others facing this disease.

We hope that our ride will inspire you to join us in support of the NBTF through a contribution to Jean's Journey. Online donations are easy to do - follow the JustGiving instructions. Your names will appear on our website as our way to say 'thanks' from the road.  If you prefer to make your donation directly to NBTF, the information is listed at the bottom of this page..

Thanks so much,

John and Mike Logsdon

p.s. Donation continue to pour in from around the country and around the globe. Just because the ride has finished doesn't mean our mission has. We need you to donate whatever you can to continue the research, patient services, and other great programsn the NBTF has to offer!
