    Livestrong Challenge - schedule for 2009

    Locations and dates for the Livestrong Challenge for 2009:

    Seattle, WA - June 13-14
    San Jose, CA - July 11-12
    Philadelphia, PA - August 22-23
    Austin, TX - October 23-25

    Registration begins December 1, 2008 at http://www.livestrongchallenge.org

    To compare to the 2008 schedule, the Portland event has been changed to Seattle and moved up a couple weeks earlier in June. The other three are basically one year later at the same place.

    I plan to register in early December for the Philadelphia ride, and hopefully will get a couple of donations in lieu of Christmas gifts. Also that way I can make a bigger overall donation than last year and have it paid out in small chunks over eight months.

    Anyone else?

    My team is in again for Philly. We were 17 strong this last year (with 9 of us biking). My sister has decided she will walk the 5K next year. Given that she is 18 months out from a diagnosis that has a median survival of 22 months, I'm so proud of her fight and really believe she will be there walking!! She has also decided she wants her team to compete for biggest team. Given that there were a couple 50+ member teams, it's a big goal. But we plan to try and get her there. Of course most of those teams the majority of people are doing the 5K.

    I'm already planning for some fundraisers too. The latest idea, a scavenger hunt.
    You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!

    Hey, that's interesting---Seattle this year. Thanks for posting this--I had no idea it was going to switch to Seattle for 2009.

    I think we should ABSOLUTELY have a team!

    I would love to ride the Seattle event. I'll have to talk to DH about making the trip out.
