Equal Parenting Cyclists - 2nd Degree Burns and Broken Rims

We received an update from Bill Knoellner today:

Yesterday Bill Knoellner was told that he had second degree burns and was treated for this.  He is still in pain but refuses to quit.

Brian Downs, a Michigan Judicial Candidate, had his bicycle wheel (rim) destroyed.  He is ok and they are in the process of looking for a replacement wheel.

Bill stated on the phone message that spirits are high and they are refusing to quit, but that the hills in Pennsylvania are "kicking their butt". 

Congrats to all of the cyclists for their determination to make it to the DC Festival 2008. All should attend this event JUST to welcome these equal parenting heroes

Grand Rapids, Michigan August 6, 2008  - Brian Downs, a Kent County attorney and candidate for Judge in the Kent County 17th Circuit Court in the November election is riding his bicycle 758 miles from the Capitol in Lansing to the nation's Capitol in Washington DC.  Downs along with 3 other riders are signaling a message that Family Courts throughout the nation are not family friendly.  The Equal Parenting Bike Trek has been organized to bring attention to what he believes should be reform in the nations court system.

Brian Downs, who has been a family advocate for the past 7 years, believes that it is the duty of our nation to protect the parent child relationship and repair this relationship when necessary so that children maintain a loving relationship with their entire biological family.  Downs believes that the nation's family court system does more splitting up of families than protecting and maintaining this most important and primary relationship.

Minister Ronald Smith, CEO of Children Need Both Parents, Inc, a non-profit group located in both Chicago and Grand Rapids stated, "Our family court judges pay little attention to the damage being done to our children removing one or both biological parents from a child's life without making a concerted effort that no stone is left unturned to repair and maintain this God Given relationship."

Downs is scheduled to leave Lansing at 2:00pm EST August 7th and scheduled to arrive at the Family Preservation Festival in DC on August 15-16.
