Doug and I raised over $8,000 to Fight Cancer...It's Time to Keep Fighting!

On December 31, 2008, Doug and I made a decision. We found the experience of riding for a cause exceptionally rewarding, both for the camaraderie of our fellow riders and for the knowledge of why we were riding. Between the two of us, we raised over $8,000 to fight blood cancers, thanks to the generosity of people like you. But we were warned when we started the process that it would become addictive...the rush you get knowing what good you have accomplished. So here it is...

On June 7, 2009, Doug and I will be riding another 100 miles (all in one day) in America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride in Lake Tahoe to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!

We hope you will join us in our quest to find a cure for blood cancers, and use the links above to donate to this great cause. We'll be training in the dead of winter for a while, so send warm happy hot-toddy-like thoughts our way!

Committing to a Cause

Hi there everyone!

Doug and I have joined forces and decided to do something really exciting. On November 22nd, 2008, we will be traveling to Tuscon, AZ to ride in El Tour de Tuscon, a 109-mile bike ride. But we're not just doing it for ourselves, we are doing it for a great cause.

We have both, separately, committed to raise $4,200 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and joined their most successful fundraising program, Team in Training.

Through this blog, we will be sharing our experiences, challenges, and stories from the road (and pictures of course). Please join us in supporting this great cause, and we hope to hear from you on these pages as well!
