Hi All,

I decided I want to raise some money on the heels of my first-time one-day STP endeavor, but I couldn't find a team cause already in existence with which I felt a deep connection. So I have set up a team page to support the Wounded Warrior Project. (I am a military brat and know quite a few folks in the military!)

If you would like to join the team, please do. I use the word "team" loosely to mean that there will be no support wagons or catered lunches; just a group of us riding the same ride supporting the same cause. It always help to draw support for a cause when there's more visibility.

There's no minimum fundraising required, but it is a fundraiser, so I'd like to request that you make it your goal to raise $202 - $1 for every mile of the ride. But if you just want to contribute $50 of your own money, that will work too. Any amount you or your supporters contribute will be appreciated, and contributions are tax-deductible.

The only real requirements are that you already have an STP registration (because it's sold out) and that you buy a team jersey. (Visibility for the cause!) I am in the process of designing a very simple one now. It will likely be a semi-custom and not terribly cheap since I'd like to have it delivered before the Flying Wheels ride, but I'm trying to keep the cost somewhat reasonable. If you join up and let me know what size you want (and get me the funds) before I order mine, I can try doing a group order to save money on shipping if nothing else; otherwise, it will likely be up to each person to order their own. (I will order from a place with no order minimum.)

To join the team (or contribute), visit Team Giving Back to Those Who Gave.

Send me a private message if you have any questions or would like more info.

See y'all out there!
