Tonight we were joined by our first honorary Tour for the Cure Team member, First Lieutenant James Mahoney of the one and only US Marines. In other circles, Jim is also known as Jimbo11824, J-Mo, Jim, Jimmy, Swimmy Jimmy, and the infamous, Bubbles Mahoney. He brought the muscle and discipline to the fundraising effort—and with his help, we were able to have a very successful night. The fact that it was also “Thirsty Thursday” at the ballpark ($1 beers) might have played a small role in our success. Thanks to Jessie for getting us an item to raffle off and allowing us to setup inside the park. The Kinston Indians came out on top against the Lynchburg Hillcats, 10-6.

Jim also allowed us to become “Marines for a night” and set up camp at his house. He woke us up at 4:30 in the morning with a drill whistle. Shortly after we headed out towards our next stop—Norfolk, Virginia.
