-More than $2,300 (and counting) raised
-I rode 107 miles from Columbus to Athens
-WE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN FIGHTING CANCER!
I need to thank several people who made this possible:
-First and foremost, YOU! Thanks to everyone who donated!
-My summer campers, who stuffed and licked envelopes, made signs and flyers, collected money from their neighbors, and gave me awesome music for the playlist
-My parents, who paid a $100 signup fee to Pelotonia in lieu of a donation
-My sisters - one donated time help me with some administrative elements, and the other who donated $25 toward the cost of postcards and stamps
-Kyle Lewis, who made my "Thank You" postcard
Here is a record of all my donations. Again, YOU made this possible and I thank you! I am sending all the sheets I have on hand and a check for all my cash/check donations in the next few days. If you gave me cash/check, your donation should appear soon:
It is NOT too late to donate. You have until October 22. If you did not donate or you want to donate more, here is where you can donate to my ride:
I would also be very happy to hear that you donate to another cause. As you might have heard, a woman was struck by a car and killed during Pelotonia. It is a tragedy that this happened. Yet out of the tragedy, a real difference has been made. More than $40,000 donated in her name toward Pelotonia. The rider left behind a son and more than $10,000 has been raised in a fund for her family. Since I have met my goal I encourage you to donate to one of these two accounts instead:
I plan on riding again next year. Check back with me next spring or summer for a more formal announcement. If you are interested in riding, please let me know!
Book this blog and check back. I won't have a whole lot to say until next year, but if there is news on this ride I will post it here and on my social media accounts. Follow me on Facebook and Twitter:
