Giving

Over the past several years i have had the good fortune to be in reasonable health and have really enjoyed cycling. Every year I attempt to raise funds for one or more charities. Last year Will, Josh, and myself participated in the Tour de Pink, to raise funds and awareness for Breast Cancer in young women. The organization that is hosting, and organization, and benefiting from the money raised is the Young Survival Coalition

I like this event for several reasons, First it is a physical challenge, it is 220 miles over three days, so it is alot of saddle time, and you do need to be in some shape.

Second: In my mind all cancer sucks!! So raising money to help find a cure for breast cancer, may lead to finding a cure for other cancers. The YSC does not only a great job fund raising etc, they are also a tremendous organization in terms of support and resources for those afflict with cancer.

Last year i meet some great people, I know i will again this year, i also know this ride will challenge me. Last year i was concerned about finishing, this year, i will have the luxury of pushing myself and leaving it all out on the 220+ miles between Hershey and NYC.

I would urge all reader to donate, It is tax deductible, it is for an awesome cause!

Donate Here!!

For those many generous donations.... I thank you!!

Thanks
