No worries. Hope you're feeling better.
Here's the summary recap

DFW riders raise $135,000
The sixth annual Dallas/Fort Worth Ride for Kids® continues raised $135,000, an 18 percent increase over last year's announced total.
A sunny morning greeted the crowd of 500 motorcyclists and supporters gathered at Grapevine Mills Mall. The riders and their police escort left the metropolitan area for the countryside, enjoying rural scenery before returning for the powerful Celebration of Life program.
Seven Ride for Kids® stars, including 2-year-old Josephine and Cassie, 5, were on stage to talk about their lives. Said Carson, 16, "I can't imagine all of you doing this. Thank you for helping kids with brain tumors."
The program also honored the memory of young Trinity Bright, who died last year at age 7 before she could attend a Ride for Kids® event. Her parents, Angel and John, and their friend Jamie Mancini, held a memorial walk/run to raise funds for the PBTF. They donated more than $15,000 at the ride.
The top club/chapter was HRCA Maxim Honda of Allen, Texas, with $30,090 in donations. Maxim Honda customers donated a total of $39,043 to give it the top motorcycle business spot. Jasmine Khan of Waco won the grand prize Honda motorcycle.
A heartfelt thanks went to the local Ride for Kids® task force and event volunteers, led by Jeff Latimer, Fetch Daniel, and Shane and Pam Sutton.
