Ride to End Brain Cancer.

[psychling]

On Saturday, May 11th, I'll be riding from Congress, AZ, to Cottonwood, AZ, (the RAAM route) and back to support research to end brain cancer. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2359361 180 miles / 300 kilometers with 17,000 feet of climbing.

This will be part of the same route Maria Parker will be racing on the Race Across America http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/raam/entrydtl.php?s_N_Year_ID=37&s_N_Race_ID=1&s_N_Category_ID=&s_N_Country_ID=&s_T_Last_Name=parker&s_T_First_Name=&s_tblentry_T_Entry_Name=&N_Entry_ID=2986

If you'd like to donate $5 -$10 (or more) to this worthy cause just go to the link: http://www.3000milestoacure.com

Great Way to Contribute!

I will not likely participate in any organized rides this year, but I had the idea of looking for "sponsors" who would pledge to support 3000 Miles based on my distance goals. I actually thought about putting up a "Sponsor My Commute" flyer at the office soliciting pledges if I rode a specific mileage or number of days; sort of like X cents per mile. Since I wouldn't be looking to collect money, but rather to secure a pledge to give directly via the 3000 Miles website, I feel more people might be willing to give. It's just a thought...I mean who doens't want to see Maria raise $1 Million?

What I am saying is...

Psychling,

You ought to set up a pledge page to try to solicit donations directly to 3000 Miles. I'd like to see the impact that might have.
