So recently I went on a trip to Daytona Beach, FL with my friend Kacie from high school. And of course, you cannot see Daytona without visiting the Daytona International Speedway (well I guess you can...but how often do you go visit race car tracks??) While I'm not an avid NASCAR fan, or even a fan at all, I was fascinated by the pinwheels outside of the speedway. At the time I didn't think much of it, all I cared about was finding the State of MN, which, much to my dismay was linked together with Wisconsin. Now, I have nothing against WI, one of my best friends lives there, but I more or less believed that "every state should have their own pinwheel" lol. that would be a lot of pinwheels. But as I watching one of my favorite shows yetserday, "Cake Boss," I finally found out what these pinwheels were for.
One of the most famous women racecar drivers in the world is Danica Patrick. Needless to say, I did not know this until yesterday, but as I'm watching her describe to Buddy the kind of cake she wants, across the screen flashes her friend Michael Kalish, standing next to all of these pinwheels. It turns out, he is the creator of the pinwheels in order to raise awareness for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD). I thought myself "Sweet! I've seen those." And now...I share it all with you :) Maybe one day you too will see the pinwheels in your area as they make their way around the states :)
