Hill Slug and all, first off congrats on TNT, a worthy cause. I lost my dear cousing Marvin to Leukemia a few years back. As I drove to his memorial I heard on the radio news that new treatments had been found that might have helped him. But too late for this wonderful man.
We have a lot of TE'ers doing charity rides: the Top Hat, AIDS Rides, even the Cindy benefits charities. We may need a thread for TE'ers to share fundraising tips, reviews of the various rides etc?

Hey Admin!
Hey Admin: maybe we need a "fund-raising" forum? A place for everyone to post their fundraising needs, rides, goals, whatever?? Give us all 1 place to go for that info?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

A Charity Ride forum sounds good. I'd be happy to share tidbits I've learned in the last year.....
Ride your ride.

Charity Rides
Hi Ladies!! Last year we formed MS Team FedEx Ohio to ride in the Pedal to the Point from Cleveland to Sandusky and back. One of my FedEx co-managers has MS, rides on our team, but had such a terrible setback before the PTTP she was bedridden. As show of our support, we raised $12,000 for the Buckeye Chapter of the National MS Society.
I'm always inviting folks to join our team. You do not have to be a FedEx employee, although the core group of our initial 2004 team of 32 riders were a bunch of couch potatoes from Columbus, Ohio.
While one of our Canton couriers got members of the Stark County Cycling Club to join us (they're "real" road cyclists), our Columbus folk rode on garage-sale/hand-me-down/Wal-Mart bikes, wore borrowed black padded shorts, and the coolest jerseys in town!!
We are so thrilled with the MS society folks with the SAG support, rest stops and gratitude! They ROCK!!
Does anyone know of any other charity rides near Columbus? BTW--I have a FedEx tractor trailer driver starting an MS Team FedEX near Chicago...Any takers? Let me know. Here's a link:

Feel free to contact me for further information as I'm the Ohio Team Captain, Den Mother, etc..... XOXOFit and Fabulous on a Bike...Decrepit on a Horse!
