2006 TE charity rides.

[liksani]

Hmm not sure if I'm doing it again this yr, might do SD rock n roll marathon. :P

[MM_QFC!]

While I missed fellow TE rider, Maryellen on the ESAR ride this year, I did lead a team of Puget Sound Riders from the Seattle area to my birth state of New York and our team contributed almost $25,000 to the total raised so far; my fundraising total at this point is $4,150

And, just like many of you, I'm sure, have also $upported many friends in their charity ride/walk efforts this year, donating to the Breast Cancer Fund climb of Mt. Rainier, MS150 Walk-Massachusetts, MS150 ride-Washington, Race for the Cure-Denver/Komen Breast Cancer, Light the Night Walk-Seattle/Leukemia to name several.

There are truly so many worthy causes to fight; however I made a commitment years ago: to ride my bike, raising funds in support of wide-ranging efforts in the fight against HIV/AIDS. So I will continue to ride for the same reason and hope to someday ride - just for the pure joy and fun of it!
Ride on girls and tailwinds to all of us!
Mary
