My papaw (Dan Lambert) is my hero.  He rode his bike across the United States last May.  He is a very kind Christian man.  My papaw likes to make things out of wood.  He has made Grandfather clocks, rocking horses, and many other neat things.  He is very active and is running the Mini Marathon this year.  I have run with him for the past three years.
 
    His sister (Jane Lambert) died from cancer on May 2, 2000.  Papaw wanted to do something to help the Cancer Society.  So my grandma and papaw drove to San Diego in their motor home.  My Grandma drove the motor home and Papaw rode his bike across the U.S.  They received about $10,000 in donations by the time they got back home.  Every penny of it went to the Cancer Society.  They didn’t use any of it to help them with the trip.
 
    My family and I met them in Florida over Spring Break.  Papaw rode through rain, hail, sleet, and snow so he could stay on schedule.  We rode our bikes the last 350 miles of the trip with him.  We finished in St. Augustine, Florida.
