Riding for a Cure

There are as many charity rides out there as there are causes. Unless you are a hermit and eschew all human contact, you can pick any one of the causes out there, and you probably know - or are related to someone whose life has been affected by it.

For the past 6 years, I have ridden in - and raised money for the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure. I have several family members and good friends that are afflicted with diabetes, and this cause has become very important to me over the years.

Last year, a good friend asked me to ride with him and his family in the local Bike MS ride. This is a ride that I have thought about doing before, as my sister-in-law has been affected by multiple sclerosis for most of her adult life. I had such a great time riding with my friends over the course of 175 miles and 2 days, that I decided that this ride needed to become a regular event on my yearly calendar.

This year, I am registered for both rides, and have fundraising goals to meet for each one. I am asking for your help in raising money for both of these very worthy causes. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Seriously, $1 will be as welcome as $10. Any amount.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me, and thank you for your support of these causes.
