10 days to go for lift off. Thank you @garvin_industries for being a sponsor! Love the rack...cuz I can take the top down and feel the wind running through my beard plus I can put boxes for donations on top. Scroll through the pics to see how the rack tilts back to put the top up and down. #missionforhope #200DayRoadTrip #jeepers #jeeps #givingback

Can’t thank Wicked Jeeps enough for raising over $400 for my upcoming mission trip. And thank you HotLogic for donating a dozen units for the raffle. #missionforhope #wickedjeeps #jeepers #givingback #myhotlogic #hotlogic — view on Instagram  http://bit.ly/2VYRORt http://bit.ly/2VYRORt

My sponsors rock! Beantown Blankets, HotLogic & Duke Cannon Supply Co.  have donated a ton of stuff for my fundraisers but what’s really cool is they are donating massive amounts of stuff for the homeless outreach I will be doing with Jeep clubs on Saturdays in each city. Beantown Blankets is drop shipping 50 blankets in each city I will be in. Hot Logic is giving me units to give to folks that are living in their cars. Duke Cannon is giving me hundreds of their Cold Shower Cooling Field Towels to give out with the hygiene kits. (Their towels are how I will keep myself smelling fresh in the woods in between cities. Thank you #beantownblankets #hotlogic #dukecannon ! 

A few of my images of the Galapagos that will be available this Saturday from 12PM-4PM at 43 Railroad Ave., Beverly. Free cheese, crackers, grapes & postcards. 

Volunteers are going to modify the women’s kits and start shipping them to the Jeep clubs I will be partnering with on Saturdays in each city. They will also be shipping breakfast bars to the clubs for the homeless.  Beantown Blankets will start shipping 50 blankets also to Jeep clubs soon.

These are black & white images I took in Alaska a few years back. They need to find a good home before I go. Meet them 12-4PM this Saturday at 43 Railroad Avenue in Beverly. Also looking for homes are images of the Galapagos and lots of nautical images, framed and unframed, 8x10 - 16x20, canvas and traditional prints.  Free grapes & cheese while you are perusing my photography pieces.

Well the real Wahlburgers didn’t show up for my fundraiser but just everybody else did!  Thank you for all Calvary friends, Wicked Jeepers & Beverly friends for coming by to support my mission trip! I was totally blown away by how people who came by. Thank you!!!

Welcome to the Mission For Hope team Pete's Garage. Thank you Eric & Michelle LaVerde Gaudette for always supporting my ministries over the last 6 years! Eric & his team will be prepping my Jeep for 200 days on the road as well as doing a mod to the power system for all my crazy accessories. I’m pretty sure Interstate Batteries will be donating two super good batteries soon. Going to need to fit them under the hood. Hopefully somebody will donate a Genesis Offroad Dual Battery Kit. 

Next Tuesday night at Wahlburgers in Lynnfield is going to be off the charts good. Great silent   auction donation from Captain Dave Marciano & Nancy Marciano! 

1st of 6 Mission For Hope fundraisers this month. Thank you Wicked Jeeps of New England and HotLogic!
