Multiple Sclerosis Society fundraiser

    Hi people,

    Like last summer, I've registered to participate in a fundraising event for the National MS Society called The Ride Across Minnesota (TRAM). Donations made in my name will help me qualify to make a 5 day 300 mile bicycle ride across the Minnesota landscape. Donated money will go toward research and outreach programs for people suffering from multiple sclerosis.

    Last year's ride, my first, was a fantastic experience and I am looking forward to doing it again. I'll have to be in tip top shape because we will be travelling through some bluff country along the Mississippi River in southeastern Minnesota. Because of a nagging back injury I wasn't sure I could do it this year, but I am feeling better now, so I've just registered and am in the process of getting in shape for the ride. It's rather late in the fundraising season so I am way behind last year's fundraising effort. If you could help me out that would be fantastic.

    Here are two pictures of me during last year's ride:

    If you are willing to help send me a PM and I'll give you the relevant information to help sponsor me in my ride for this very worthy cause.

    Thanks,

    I did a 50 mile bike ride yesterday in preparation for TRAM in late July - that makes 115 miles this week. Anyone who wants to help sponsor me let me know via PM - I appreciate whatever you are able to donate to the cause of helping eliminate multiple sclerosis.

    This is the riding jersey I'll be wearing during the event, which was awarded to me at last year's TRAM. It features landmarks from the 5 towns/cities that we camped in throughout the trip. If I generate enough donations I will earn another for this year's event.

    As you can see they are pretty cool, and I hope to earn another this year. I can, but only with your help.

    Another thank you to my latest sponsor. Keep 'em coming; I've still got a long way to go to meet my goal.

    Another round of thanks to my most recent sponsor. You should have a PM from me; you know who you are.

    I did a 50 mile training ride today, which brought this week's mileage to 115 miles so far. I'm getting in great shape. One month until TRAM!
