For those of you who follow my page and knew Adam Lozano, owner of Santa Rosa Tires Plus, and a BNI member I have known for over a decade, I wanted to pass on the very sad news that he passed away from complications related to a bicycle accident.

Hi All!

I'm going to jail and I need your help posting bail!

You'll be doing me a favor AND helping out with a great cause, since my bail will help children and adults with muscle disease in my community who are supported by the vital work of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

I might not be able to rely on good behavior to get out so that's why I need your help - I need you to donate to my bail! Just click on the donation button to make a secure donation - I know that together we'll Make a Muscle and Make a Difference in the fight against muscle disease.

I have a ways to go, as my bail is $1,600, so any donation, large or small is a big help! Thanks for supporting me in this effort!

Link to my MDA page is below:
